During these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever to take care of our mental and emotional health. Whatever issues you may be dealing with, seeking help is a brave and necessary first step. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with problems related to mood, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and life transitions. As a mom of 3, I also have an interest in working with new parents or parents of young children as they navigate the obstacles and challenges that often come with this particular stage of life.

I work with primarily adults in individual therapy struggling with mental health concerns and/or substance use; however, I also do group therapy and couples counseling. The clients that I currently work with have a wide range of mental health concerns, which can include complex trauma histories and grief and loss. My work with my clients is built around my theoretical basis for my therapy style, which is person-centered. I believe that my clients are the experts on themselves. Through my knowledge of various tools and coping mechanisms I can help get them through the hardships and obstacles that they are encountering in their lives.

Are you looking for clarity and direction? Are you struggling to find your voice? Life transitions are difficult and many times, through the challenges of life we lose sight of who we are and what we truly want. We become misaligned with our grounded and core self and may begin living a life that others have chosen for us. In this process, we lose joy and confidence, our light dims. How do we find our way home to self? How to we begin to move in the direction of authenticity, self-alignment and the inner knowing of our best and highest self? How do we explore our identity and discover who we truly are?

We all know someone who needs professional help. It is clear to you and others that they are not healthy, they are sabotaging their life through a slow form of suicide. Typically this looks like heavy drinking, and/or drug abuse which then is reflected in their personal and professional relationships. Through an intervention by Belina, a clinician of over 25 years, you can get effective help. When a team of loved ones, plus a facilitator such as a seasoned clinician, gathers, change can begin. Call soon, no time should be wasted.

The clients I tend to see usually present with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and process addictions, trauma/PTSD, relational distress, LGBTQI and minority/marginalized-population issues, life transitions, self-esteem/self-control issues, and aging/older adults.

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.
