Our lives consist of transitions of all kinds. I enjoy meeting people in the spaces within those transitions. Often, such times are the occasion for discernment, assessment, and change. Whether you are experiencing depression, grief and loss, or you are simply seeking a safe context for considering "next steps," I provide a confidential, professional relationship for the journey. I focus on strengths as well as challenges and seek creative, imaginative solutions. I respect all life contexts and spiritual orientations. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

Therapy is a collaborative human endeavor, joining you in your journey towards wholeness, healing, liberation, and transformation. I emphasize collaboration because it illuminates the heart of therapy and life, where relationality is foundational. As a holistic therapist, I understand that well-being hinges on our relationships with ourselves, others, and nature. Symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress signal ruptured relationships, manifesting in unhealthy patterns of thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Let's embark on self-discovery to uncover and replace these patterns, moving from discord to harmony and fulfillment together

My approach to counseling assumes that everyone suffers in some way or another, and that our lives are in a constant state of flux. Everything changes on its own at some point, but we can learn to steer change in a way that benefits us and those around us by better understanding how we respond to suffering. When we are aware and accepting of our own suffering, we become less reactive, less defensive, and more responsive. Once we learn to be less reactive and take things less personally, we can begin to act in ways that are in alignment with our deeper values instead of clinging on to pleasure and running away from discomfort.

Are you an individual or couple who struggles with addiction, codependency, or other coping behaviors that have not only stopped helping you but have started to hinder you and your relationships? If you were able to just stop doing those things, then you would have already done that. But so much about our behaviors and interactions is gripped by how our nervous system interpreted earlier experiences. Wouldn't you like help getting to the root of why you keep repeating the same unhealthy patterns? While those roots are often deep, it's never too late to start growing in a healthier direction.

They are frequently intelligent, complex, skilled, and hardworking. They're often looking to explore an issue they can't share with other people in their lives or one that others seem worn out on discussing.

Drug Abuse 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.
