It started with a panic attack. Since then, nothing has felt the same. You can’t figure out how to get back. On the outside, you are high-functioning. A leader, professional, entrepreneur, or someone others rely on. On the inside, you are managing anxiety by avoiding, canceling, escaping, and bracing for the next wave. This is not general stress. It is anxiety that has taken hold. I specialize in treating panic, phobias, and anxiety that shrink your life. We focus on breaking the patterns that keep it going so you can move forward, even with it there.

I believe that intervention is one of the most effective ways to help someone suffering from alcoholism, substance abuse, eating disorders or other process addictions, such as gambling, internet, or sex addiction. I have been fortunate to have an amazing success rate and, in certain circumstances, will refund fees if the intervention is unsuccessful after a level III family meeting. Intervention is necessary in cases of addictive behaviors because the addiction cannot survive without denial and delusion of the consequences of the individual's actions and behaviors. It is a life changing, life affirming event for all concerned.

Hello, and welcome. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or major life changes. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or struggling to manage the constant pressure of everyday life. Some have difficulty opening up to others, while others are simply tired of carrying everything on their own and want healthier ways to cope, communicate, and move forward.

Our ideal clients are individuals and families who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or the stress of everyday life. Some are healing from trauma, others are struggling with relationships, identity, or life transitions. They need a safe, compassionate space where they can process their experiences and learn new ways to cope. Their goals are to feel more balanced, build stronger connections, set healthy boundaries, and live with greater purpose. What they want most is lasting change not just temporary relief because they’re tired of “just surviving” and are ready to thrive.

Being more connected to ourselves or the important people in our lives is central to living a healthy, fulfilled life. When we feel out of alignment with ourselves or disconnected to those we love, our life may feel out of control. When this happens, it can lead to unhealthy choices for both our physical and mental wellness. I work alongside my clients to help re-establish those connections that seemed to have weakened over time. Like a GPS navigation, I assist my clients in finding the direction in life that is most suitable to resolving their problems. It is a collaborative process between the client and me.

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.
