As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and open to expressing your genuine feelings/thoughts. Emotions can be intense and I am here to help you control them. I will strive to name and provide the words to empower you to speak about your experiences and to help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to helping share the weight and help you feel more confident and in control moving forward.

When a new client first walks through my office door, one of the initial things I tell them is that by seeking help they have already solved a good portion of their issue. The fact that you have enough courage, strength, humility and self awareness to seek help is a great place to start.

I have also helped men with masculinity issues, intimacy issues and understanding their purpose in life, relationships and community.

We all have our own negative stories that we tell or have about ourselves. You come to counseling to learn how to sit in joy and happiness. You don't come to counseling to learn about how to be depressed, anxious, or how to talk about yourself in a negative way. I value the therapeutic relationship, and together we will build a safe place, as I believe this is one of the key components to become the best version of yourself. In our time together, my goal and my hope is to assist you to re-author your story and learn how to sit in happiness versus the negative messages you tell yourself.

I believe in mistakes and difficult times. My work is rooted in the understanding that behind every struggle—addiction, criminal thinking, anxiety, or the overwhelming stress of daily life—there is a human being searching for something better. I have experience helping people who carry heavy stories, often marked by pain, poor decisions, or just the weight of trying to get through another day.

Do you feel pain? Emotional and psychological pain are as damaging to a person as physical pain. And, avoiding pain through unhealthy distractions never works. The roller coaster ride associated with trauma can be very overwhelming – leading to feelings of pain. Drugs and behavioral addictions, risky behaviors, and unhealthy thinking only act as a temporary Band-Aid – they are not the solution to the difficulties and pain you are facing.

I want to truly listen to understand and come alongside you in your journey to wellness. This viewpoint speaks to a phrase I've developed that also guides my life, "Our perspective on issues coming our way will determine if we live an adventurous or miserable life."

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.
