Now Accepting Medicaid! - Big change can begin with small steps. Whether you're questioning aspects of your relationship with drugs or alcohol, or at a place where changes are needed, we can talk about what that might look like. You are the expert on your life and your relationship with substances. My aim is to work with you toward changes that feel meaningful, personal and relevant to your life.
Those challenged by substance use disorder and mental illness, like every other human being on earth, are shaped by the reality they live in and the parameters of that in which they were raised. Treatment, then, must be truly individual or else it is meaningless to the individual seeking it.
I do not know what is best for you. I would, though, honor the opportunity to explore with you the untold ways in which your story could unfold. My work of the last five years in the substance use disorder treatment field has informed the person-centered, strengths-based and liberational framework from which I approach my work with people.

I work with people who are challenged by their relationship with mental health, drugs and alcohol and the multitude of ways those relationships intersect with trauma, mental illness, and systemic factors. I try to get a sense of what has worked for you in the past, what you feel still needs work, what you place value on in life, and how to facilitate a continuing search for meaning.

"
The foundation of my practice is in Narrative and Contemplative practices. This often looks like me asking you open ended questions about your relationship to your experience and those that encourage reflection on the answer's meaning. I might use tenets of Internal Family Systems to further explore your embodied experience of these answers, and tools from DBT to facilitate more productive coping.
