Healing spaces and techniques come in many shapes and sizes. As we navigate through life, we go through a series of trial and error, gain experience, seek advice, and make choices. Along the way, we start to pick up bits and pieces of what works for us. Some of these might be temporary coping strategies, while others might be skills we develop and implement throughout our lifetime. Either way, it is important for us to find, utilize, and mindfully pack the tools we’ll need to help us along our life journey.

Finding meaning and purpose is the foundation of my therapeutic approach, and I integrate traditional talk therapy with body awareness and mindfulness to aid clients in achieving their goals. We are all experts on our own lived experience and sometimes get stuck with skills and tools that are no longer serving us. By partnering with clients' ideal future selves, we will develop new habits that are better suited to what is happening in the present moment. Using trauma-informed techniques and protocols, clients will explore their own history while moving toward a whole-person model of wellness.

When I work with a client, I build a safe, trusting space. You will be your own expert, of your story. I will treat you as a whole, which include family dynamics, your qualities, strengths/personality and your dreams. I want to learn about your journey and help you move forward to the next phase. We will work as a collaborative team to explore, self-reflect and discover a new awareness of ourselves. We will also focus on your strengths, journeys, values, morals, and dreams.

My background includes working with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, substance use, and trauma.
At times, we can find ourselves dealing with unresolved feelings of anxiety, fear, self-doubt, shame, and trauma. However we can still blossom. The therapeutic process goes beyond the individual. It must be addressed within the individual and their environment, and should include their cultural experiences, practices, and traditions, as well as their spirituality; this approach provides collective healing. I practice a holistic approach to providing therapeutic care. I integrate components of the mind, body, and spirit within therapeutic modalities to address the needs of each individual or family.

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.
