I have experience in issues such as ADHD, alcohol use, anger, relationship, couples, dating, OCD, financial stress, self-esteem, career changes, parenting, and trauma.
Do you have relationship issues, or are you going through big life transitions? Are you in need of a breakthrough? Are you asking important questions about yourself and your life? Do you need a trained professional to focus solely on you to bring clarity into your life? Are you tired of wasting time online trying to figure out what is wrong with you? I provide a non-judgmental approach that is grounded in up-to-date research and knowledge on evidenced-based practice in psychopathology, personality, career and relationships. I am dedicated to understanding you as a whole - what you've been through, your struggles and your goals.

My approach to therapy is to meet you where you are, where you can show up as your true self, and work collaboratively towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. I work to create a safe, non-judgement space where you can process, at your own pace, the past so that you can develop tools for today that are lasting long after our journey ends. We explore how identity, environment, and upbringing often influence maladaptive behaviors. I help you discover that you can be an instrument of change in your life – breaking cycles that impede your ability to have a better tomorrow.

Doesn't it make sense to talk with someone who has actually experienced what you are going through? Someone who understands drinking and/or substance use can both cause problems AND provide much needed relief. I have been where you are, or somewhere close, and together we can find a way out. My ability to help is grounded in 10 years of active addiction, followed by 27 years of continuous recovery and 14 years of academic training (MSW, PhD). I understand the science, and I know the suffering. I work with others who have suffered, their families and loved ones.

Alcohol Use Therapists

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.
