One of my favorite mantra's is " The quality of life is determined by the quality of your relationships-in your marriage, in your family, in your daily life, in your spiritual life, and in the mirror. My goal is to walk along side your goals and to help facilitate grow and healing in these specific areas: anxiety, depression, addictions, affairs, anger, grief, faith exploration, separation, divorce, financial stresses, midlife and aging.

Dallas, TX 75207
I believe we were made to be known, to connect and to be free. Each of us has a unique story we are living out and along the way experience circumstances and degrees of difficulty that leave us feeling burnt out, alone and/or confused. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples from all walks of life that are open to learning and growing together with me. I am passionate about creating a safe place for you to tell your story and explore what's getting in the way of you living life to the fullest.

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.
