Hello, and welcome! I am currently accepting new clients. I believe that all people are the experts of their own experiences and capable of meaningful growth. The therapeutic relationship can be a supportive vessel for exploring a wide range of concerns and topics. These might include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, trauma, substance-use, life transitions, relationships, and identity. Together, we can explore existing patterns of thinking, communicating, and being... seeking to build upon what is working, and gently shift what isn't.

As humans, we crave connection and community, but it can sometimes feel difficult to achieve in our everyday lives. We find ourselves looking for different supports, seeking to better understand ourselves, our experiences, and our interactions with the world around us. You are made up of so many different parts and I believe in the importance of seeing and acknowledging all of those pieces. Sometimes we can be told - directly or indirectly - that we hold a singular role, so we may find ourselves trying to fit in a mold that does not hold all the pieces we value about ourselves.

Each person experiences mental distress uniquely. My aim is to partner with my client to ensure their safety in our shared space, create a bond of trust, and then dive into problems and solutions. Whether one experiences identity- or event-based problems and whether those are caused by individual development or social conditions, I strongly believe in the innate ability of trusting partnerships to overcome the troubles in our lives. If I'm not the right therapist for a person, I will work hard to keep them safe until they decide how to move forward.

I am now maintaining a waitlist; contact for scheduling options. Adolescence and adulthood are challenging; coping with anxiety, depression, and the daily barriers of life can easily complicate things further. You may struggle to cope with and find balance between the frustrations of school, relationships, work, and family. Maybe you feel it is time to focus on personal growth and seek harmony. Taking the first steps can feel extraordinarily challenging but I will be there to provide support and guidance within your journey. I believe everyone has the capacity to manage life's challenges and I can provide you the skills to do so.

Sometimes life is complicated, stressful, and can feel overwhelming, especially in today's world. When interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, or mental health challenges present themselves it is comforting to know that you don't have to sit with all of that by yourself. Connecting with someone and working on life's difficulties, whether it be old wounds or new, can be liberating and empowering. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions; together we can work on the difficult and rewarding work of being the best version of yourself you can be.

In therapy, my main aim is to create a space where you can freely express yourself, offering understanding and validation to bring you a sense of relief by the end of our session. While I believe these are fundamental goals in therapy, I understand that they are just the beginning. When we connect, I tailor my approach to suit your unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution in therapy. My approach involves delving not only into emotional and psychological aspects but also addressing societal factors and systemic oppression that may be impacting your life.

Substance Use 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.
