As we voyage through life, it is inevitable that we will face the unexpected. Often times, this means taking on challenges beyond our familiarity and traversing obstacles we can conquer with guidance. My experience and proficiency has allowed me to guide individuals toward their overall recovery and wellness in a variety of areas. My expertise involves working with adults who live with chemical addiction (drugs and alcohol), process addiction (gambling, sex, video games etc.), anxiety, depression, parenting/family issues, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and major life transitions.

Client's that see me for therapy are navigating intersectional identities and facing challenges with intimacy, relationships, or personal growth. They may struggle with infidelity, disordered eating, attachment or spiritual trauma, or life transitions like divorce or identity shifts. They seek deeper connection, empowerment, and a non-judgmental space to explore their desires, needs, and emotions. Their goal is to reclaim joy, heal relational imbalances, and build self-compassion while finding meaning in their experiences. They want a therapist who respects their unique background and sees healing as a journey, not a quick fix.

Traumatic experiences can and will affect us in various ways. Loneliness, negativity, abandonment, rejection, and our reactions can severely impact our mental health. Ironically, it is often easier to push away people than deal with difficult feelings. Unfortunately, we choose this path by abusing substances, alcohol, and other types of addictions. When we run away from our feelings and challenges, we are not allowing ourselves to heal and recover. Essentially, we are hurting ourselves and others. Together we can work through these difficult experiences and navigate around the painful emotions to feel better and find joy again.

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
