There are many challenges facing us in our world today. Having the ability to recognize when we need some extra support and the willingness to seek it is essential. My clinical experience over the last 20 years allows me to use my education and life experience to provide a safe place for us to work through these life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults and adolescents in a variety of systems: foster care, probation, drug court, residential, crisis intervention, and in-home.

“So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA. It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear. When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year…” There was a reason “Friends” was so popular. It’s relatable. Your life isn’t the way you want it to be. You’re feeling unsatisfied. You want to function at your best, but you’re not. Going ‘round and ‘round, the struggles continue. Trying to fix it on your own hasn’t worked. If you’re like most people who find themselves in this trap, your thoughts sound something like this:

Waitlist for new clients
I work with young adults, families, and couples helping them to shed light on themselves and the systems of which they are a part. I have worked predominately with clients experiencing symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictive disorders, and personality disorders. I have a background in wilderness therapy and experiential treatment and love to introduce creative, alternative modes of expression to my clients, including yoga movement, narrative, and outdoor based therapies (walk and talk). By the end of our first session, most of my clients feel relieved and hopeful for their next steps.

I founded Alpine Psychotherapy and Consulting with the belief that anyone seeking help deserves to receive expert mental health services in a compassionate, caring, personable, and professional atmosphere. You deserve to have a professional who operates from a solid theoretical base and has expertise in the methods they are using. If you are looking for someone who doesn't just have you "come in and talk about your feelings", but rather takes a targeted and research-proven approach to healing, give me a call or email me.

We are becoming more aware how psychological pain increases when we haven't developed a strong sense of self. Such distress, presenting in forms such as depression and anxiety, can keep us from profound and beautiful connection. Healthy relationships we have with ourselves and others are essential for our emotional well-being. So first, live a life that reflects who you are, even if others don't quite understand. Trying to conform to what others want has never been possible. In the Power of Awareness, Neville wrote, "The awareness of 'being' remains regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where and what I am."

Life is puzzling in both its perplexity and in that it resembles one. Where we attempt to find the edge pieces for some kind of outline/guide, discover which pieces fit together, constantly looking at the bigger picture, realizing it’s going to take some time to complete, and having someone join in can be helpful and/or fun. I do so in order to simplify a section of their life puzzle piece as they are attempting to find where it goes and how it fits in the bigger picture. That might include trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, solution focused therapy, and learned self-compassion.

I am a clinical social worker who likes looking at the larger picture when it comes to mental health concerns. I think our illness should not define us, so I like looking at clients' strengths to help them overcome concerns they have. I have taught abnormal psychology, life span development and group therapy for many years and enjoy learning about people on a personal level. I enjoy my job so much because I enjoy how unique everyone is while still bonding over similarities we all share.

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.
