Almost all of us struggle, from time to time, with worry, unhappiness, self-hate, despair and anger. With too many negative feelings, our interpersonal lives can become conflicted and dysfunctional. We may lose our friends, job, or even our life partner, Further, we may turn to any number of drugs or behaviors to try to manage our pain. Psychotherapy helps us to understand, cope with, and even change our painful feelings and behaviors. The goal is to enjoy and engage in life more fully, and move towards the goals that will give our lives meaning and value.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, helplessness, and need additional tools to cope with daily stressors and overwhelming thoughts or feelings. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are constantly facing heightened feelings of stress that can be caused by workplace, parenting, family, couple or other relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, for many, alcohol or drugs is used to “manage” difficult times. It is my goal to help clients navigate their most complex feelings and to provide the tools and skills needed to help them thrive.

Many of the patients I have helped, voluntary and court ordered, have tried multiple ways to address their problems, including seeing different therapists and/or taking medications, but have not progressed much. Many treatment approaches are superficial, focusing on reducing the number or severity of symptoms or offering only coping skills. However, these approaches most often only provide temporary relief, but never address the underlying causes of those symptoms. A reduction in symptoms is almost never what struggling people are looking for; instead they want to know where and why problems started and how to fix them permanently.

My work involves helping people in troubled relationships find what is important to them, personally and in relationship to others. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, guilt, fear, and other emotions that are keeping them stuck as they attempt to move forward. The clients I see hope to rebuild their lives, make sense of their experiences, and move on. I am an EMDR-trained and practicing therapist where trust is key. Once trust is built between the team of client and therapist, great inroads to health and recovery are possible with this therapeutic practice.

I love working with children, adolescents, & families.My approach helps reduce the sense of fear associated with past traumas. I love supporting parents as they work on co-regulation skills, which in turn supports the child in learning to independently regulate their emotions. I believe that people are strong, powerful, and capable on their own, and it is my job to help each client utilize their own inner strengths. My approach is especially helpful for guiding those struggling with addiction, as we will work together to figure out what is working and what is not. These individuals typically appreciate the realistic approach I take.

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.
