Life's messy and complicated, and you weren't as prepared as you would have liked for the curveballs. Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time. How your problems express themselves in your life may look different than it might for someone else, and those distinctions are really important.

If you're looking this page over, you're likely wondering if therapy with me could improve your life. If you are in the middle of a major change or looking to make one, I might be your guy. Most of us find major changes difficult because the skills and knowledge we have isn't geared for what we're hoping to do next. This is where having an outside perspective can go a long way. I love helping people in these transitions and have built my practice to make sure you get the best care possible.

The path towards healing may involve deepening the mind-body connection. We hold onto stress in the smallest of ways. By brining awareness to our subconscious patterns, we can begin to healing. If you find yourself struggling with grief/loss, depression, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, substance use, or any everyday stressor you have come to the right place. My hope is to provide a safe space and collaborative treatment in which we can explore what it is that maybe interfering with your daily life. I offer a relational and non-judgmental approach to help process life's ups and downs.

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.
