Are you at the end of your rope? Have you been abused? Do you feel alone with deep, emotional pain, shame, and guilt? I know the feelings of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Clients often ask, "Will I ever get over this?" Yes, in a vast majority of cases, you will experience emotional and physical healing. Call me today to start your journey to healing. Furthermore, you may be a Believer, yet God seems a million miles away. Or perhaps you realized your issues, but don't know what to do or who to talk to. Conceivably, people's addictions and dysfunctions have created a trap, and you can't climb out.

Teens, women, men, and couples can feel stuck, unfulfilled, and unsure about how to effect change. Many times, we look outside of ourselves for answers. My person-centered practice incorporates elements of ecotherapy, art therapy, play therapy, and yoga to create the space to gain the insight needed for change. I create a sense of safety and nonjudgement in a cozy environment, and I use this to guide clients to increase self-awareness, define goals, and establish practices to create change. I love to support clients who are either resistant to or tired of traditional counseling techniques.

I firmly believe all people have the power and the ability to heal themselves. I believe my clients know themselves best and thus within possess the tools needed to make dynamic life changes. My role as a counselor is to assist in this process by providing compassion, patience, non-judgment, and when needed, the appropriate push, direction, and insight that will guide you towards improving self-awareness and achieving your personal goals. I view therapy as a collaborative and sacred process that is built on the foundations of openness, trust, and safety.

We seem to be living in very stressful and difficult times, struggling with the COVID pandemic, economic turmoil, rising criminality, and national and global instability. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, worried about the future, dissatisfied with yourself, your relationships, and your work, know that you are not alone. Let me help you view 'each hardship as a pathway to peace' and make the changes you need to make, instead of repeating the past and recreating the same unwelcome reality, over and over. Why is it so difficult to change? The answer is simple but not easy. In order to change, we must let go of our painful past.

Drug Abuse Therapists

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, counselors, 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.
