When you’ve spent years in relationships where your needs don’t matter or where you’ve had to shrink yourself to survive, it can be hard to know where to start healing. I work with adults navigating relationship conflict, codependency, narcissistic abuse, and trauma. Many come to me feeling anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or unsure how to feel safe in their own skin. Together, we explore what’s underneath those struggles, looking at early experiences, learned behaviors, and the role of boundaries, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

Many of my clients feel burdened by an anxiety that bubbles underneath the surface, and having to “keep it all together”. We’re told to keep pushing through and to “just be more grateful”, but some of that pain doesn't seem to go away. We need space and techniques to help to feel like ourselves again. I have years of experience helping my clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and complex trauma.

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.
