Healing begins when you allow yourself to stop suffering. As Helen Keller stated, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it". Your journey begins when you identify the emotions causing you to feel your life is out of control. The process of healing starts by recognizing and removing layers of false beliefs and negative thoughts. Understanding where those beliefs and thoughts come from will allow you to gain strength and courage to overcome the challenges and obstacles you face throughout your life. It is then you will experience inner peace with a healing mind.

When you feel stuck, out of sorts, things just aren't going well, some coaching or therapy might help you. You may feel anxious, sad, angry, annoyed-- perhaps at the bottom of your "stuckness". I invite you to work with me on these issues, knowing that either long-standing or recent problems are fixable--solutions are just around the corner. A special tool I share is EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique. This quickly and easily releases specific negative feelings. Anxiety, fears, phobias, guilt, grief, limiting beliefs are just some of the upsets you can release. It even helps soothe panic attacks quickly. Let's have a chat!

We all reach a point where we need to ask for help. We search for a compassionate understanding of the challenge of living. This is not a weakness, but a strength. You may be facing loss, a relationship problem, a job or even your health. Someone you care for is harming themselves with drugs or alcohol. Simply, you are no longer willing to accept as what has been. You may think "no one understands me; I am tired of going it alone." I believe in a Client Centered, Results Oriented, and Positive yet Realistic approach to therapy.

Healing is a relational process in which therapist and client begin a journey of discovering the self through the therapist's creation of a place the client feels felt, seen, safe, understood, soothed, and secure. A womb is created in the room of therapy. This is a recreation of the mother-infant bonding and positive attachment that was lacking or inadequate. In this client-therapist relationship, healing is achieved through playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy.

Teens, women, men, and couples can feel stuck, unfulfilled, and unsure about how to effect change. Many times, we look outside of ourselves for answers. My person-centered practice incorporates elements of ecotherapy, art therapy, play therapy, and yoga to create the space to gain the insight needed for change. I create a sense of safety and nonjudgement in a cozy environment, and I use this to guide clients to increase self-awareness, define goals, and establish practices to create change. I love to support clients who are either resistant to or tired of traditional counseling techniques.

Feels stuck in the trauma loop of reliving or thinking about what happened to you over and over and haven’t found anything helpful? Has been sober for a while but you’re still kind of miserable? Has thought about asking for help with your drinking or using but you’re not sure you’re an “alcoholic” or an “addict.” Has done a lot of healing of their trauma, addiction but is looking for continued growth and support beyond just living?

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.
