As a therapist, I want to work with people to help them to get unstuck. There are a lot of different ways one can be stuck, physically (pain), emotionally, socially, professionally, with a substance and many others. Like spinning your tires when stuck in the mud. It is the wrong thing to do, but it is the easiest thing to try when you are alone. Getting unstuck most times requires some help. That is where therapy can come in handy. Please contact me for a brief consultation to see if I can be the right person to help you.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I integrate evidence-based approaches with a compassionate and collaborative style. Together, we’ll explore both the “why” of your struggles and the “how” of creating meaningful change.
Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can show up as your full self-struggles, strengths, and everything in between. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you move toward clarity, growth, and relief from patterns that no longer serve you. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together - you can slow down, reflect, and focus on what you need.

If you're struggling with substances, you deserve support that meets you where you are — whether your goal is abstinence, moderation, or simply understanding your relationship with alcohol or drugs. I specialize in substance use disorders and take a harm reduction approach, while also supporting clients working toward full recovery.
Substance use rarely travels alone. Anxiety, depression, and grief often go hand in hand, and I'm experienced in treating the whole picture rather than just one piece of it. I also support clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Let’s be honest: you’ve always been responsible, and now you’ve got a lot to manage! Between a demanding career, school, and family needs, you’re feeling stressed, and life feels out of balance. It’s impossible to do it all, and nothing ever seems good enough. You feel alone and worried, and your social network isn’t able to provide you with the support that you need. Perhaps your sleep is problematic, or your energy is low. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, depressed, irritable, or having difficulty concentrating. You might be troubled by feeling that you're an ineffective partner or parent. Things will get better soon, right?

Wrestling depression, anxiety, relationship problems, work stress or alcohol and drugs? Do others see you're at odds with yourself or your circumstances? Are inner conflict, harsh self-criticism, rigid thinking, and refusal to accept yourself blocking a life you want? Therapy doesn't need to last years nor require endless focus on the past. You can decide what to work on and have a say in the direction of that work. There are solutions for what's happening, and sometimes just seeing and keeping focused on these brings change without attention to much else. At other times it's more complicated. Give yourself room to explore.

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.
