I’m currently accepting new clients from MD for online sessions, with set slots and flexibility week to week. Because of my own life experience (HI, MTHFR, MCAS, mold poisoning), I work with people with chronic illness. So many of us have been medically gaslit and even shamed for the way our own bodies work, and of course this affects our mental health! I take a holistic, integrative, and functional approach to mental health, recognizing that our well-being is shaped by biological, psychological, environmental, spiritual, and cultural influences. My clients are seekers who want to heal, and they are looking for someone to walk with.

Are you stuck in a loop that never seems to end? Wake up. Go to work. Take care of everyone else. Try to sleep but your mind just won’t turn off. Then you wake up more exhausted than the day before… just to do it all again. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to stay stuck here. Now imagine a life where you feel grounded, confident, and at peace. A life where you know your worth. You’re living with purpose, feeling connected in your relationships, and most importantly you’re finally taking care of yourself. Because you are an amazing, resilient woman… who just lost herself somewhere along the way.

Life is too short to live with constant struggle and suffering. By looking for a therapist you are already taking a huge step to improve your life and learning skills to make it a great one. You may just need someone trained to help you find it. Maybe you worry too much about the past or the future. You may be so sad getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. Maybe you have addictions such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, pornography etc. that are keeping you from doing what matters most. Many of us had difficulties growing up that still affect us to this day with our relationships and how we view the world.

I am more interested in what you are experiencing than anything I could tell you about myself. Generally, individuals come to therapy because they have reached a personal impasse and would like an outside perspective.

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.
