We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life. For parents, it can be overwhelming for children dealing with behavioral issues and/or emotional problems. You are not alone!

As a trained therapist, I empower my clients by navigating them through their traumas and helping them identify how these traumas still show up in their life. During this process of assisting my clients, I guide them to receive healing through Christ.

Maladaptive behaviors such as substance misuse can wreak havoc in your life- we can explore, discuss, and attempt to correct the behavior. In a way, we have all developed some form of maladaptive behaviors to life events and relationships. Let’s explore the negative patterns and how to make it better. You are worth it!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been in the field of human services for nearly two decades. Though I began with a career in law enforcement, I gradually began to feel a calling toward a different perspective of human services. As the world began to change and discrepancies within the legal system became more overt, I wanted to continue to serve my community in a way that would not penalize individuals for their shortcomings, substance use issues, or unaddressed mental health issues. As such, I decided to shift from law enforcement to pursue more clinical work with individuals, families, and groups.

Are you a perfectionist who struggles with being too harsh with yourself or others? Maybe you know that caring support would be helpful, but you're not usually the person to reach out for help. Sometimes, when we place high value on perfection, we can struggle with judging ourselves, disconnection in relationships and the pressure of carrying the stress and anxiety of it all. I offer a safe place for you to begin unpacking things, and learn to approach life from a place of openness, kindness, and peace.

Have you ever found yourself so dedicated to supporting others that you forgot to prioritize your own well-being? Overlooking your need for rest, support, and self-validation can result in heightened stress and mental exhaustion. Symptoms like anxiety and depression often emerge when self-care is neglected. When was the last time you experienced true wholeness? By tending to ourselves regularly, everyday stressors lose their power to overwhelm us. Past traumas no longer have to incapacitate us for days when we have the right coping mechanisms in place.

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.
