My ideal client is someone who’s tired of feeling stuck—emotionally drained from carrying anxiety, depression, or the weight of unresolved trauma. They’re insightful & self-aware, but struggle to quiet their mind, set boundaries, or feel truly at peace. They’ve reached a point where surviving isn’t enough—they want to heal, to feel grounded, & to reconnect with their authentic self. They value honesty, growth, & depth. They’re ready to engage in meaningful inner work, knowing that healing takes both in-session insight & out-of-session commitment. Their goal is to break cycles, restore balance, and rediscover a sense of calm

We all have mental health and the very best gift we can give ourselves is to nurture all parts of our whole selves including the physical, emotional and spiritual within each of us. Research has discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain unless it is done in play, in which case it takes 10-20 repetitions. Lessons can become easier when we play, laugh and have fun learning something new. Recovery experiences can reveal that we have just as much to unlearn as we may to learn. You deserve to be heard, validated and supported in a safe and trusted space as you recover your inner guidance.

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.
