Welcome! I work with adults struggling with a wide variety of concerns but most often see folks struggling with
substance use
, anxiety, mood, trauma, relationship issues, folks on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, college students and those who hold historically marginalized identities. I strive to create a safe space for you to authentically share yourself, your identities, and your story, as I believe that this is essential to healing, growth, increasing connection and creating purpose. My therapeutic style is to work collaboratively with clients to overcome barriers that may be interfering with goals or causing distress.

, suicidal ideation), academic challenges, and/or identity exploration (LGBTQIA spectrum), we can help you explore those concerns and make healthy changes to get on track.

In addition to my training and experience with complex
substance use
cases, I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing chronic pain, chronic illnesses, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
I'm a warm and caring therapist who knows the value of humor, and I bring that into my work to help balance and cope with the more difficult parts of life. I'm trained in harm reduction, a collaborative approach between client and therapist that incorporates the belief that abstinence is one solution to drug and alcohol misuse but not the only solution. I also have experience with moderation management for alcohol use.

Everyone is different and that's okay. We all struggle and that's okay. We all deal with difficult and hard times and sometimes we just need a little support. During our journey together we will travel those difficult areas in life while discovering those personal strengths you already possess. My hope is that through a strong relationship built on trust, understanding, and even a little humor we will find a level of healthy freedom. As we work together you may discover that your journey would best be traveled with someone else, so it is important you find someone who is a good fit for you.

Racing heart, sweating, can't focus, can't sit still. Another fight, another emotional outburst, another sense of failure. To get through life every day can seem like an extra big challenge when you are managing fear, worry, sadness, and confusion. You often feel alone in your struggles and not sure who you can talk to. The solution: To find someone who can listen and help you understand your story, who can guide you to find your own internal power, and who can help you connect with those closest to you. And someone to help you bring all the pieces together toward the common goal of finding joy and connection in your life.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
