The focus of my private practice is on healing unresolved trauma and on developing healthy relationships. The symptoms of unresolved trauma include PTSD, substance abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, OCD, etc... My training in trauma work started in 2007 and is based on the work and teachings of Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing model. Whether you are going through a crisis or wanting to resolve a long-standing issue, therapy can help you gain some insight and can assist you in creating the life you want to live.

I love working with children, teens, adults, couples and families! I am not your typical therapist. Clients have told me I am easy to talk to and they don't feel judged. I have experience working with all issues and would love the chance to work with what ever issues are in the way of living the life you want!

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
