This field is where I'm meant to be. Addiction tied to trauma is a passion of mine as it has affected my family and those I love. Getting to the pain attached to that trauma and finding healthier ways to address and process that pain is important and not something that is a "one size fits all." Using compassion, respect, and acceptance, I am able to assist those struggling and help them find a better way of living.

If you’re struggling with substance abuse, you’re not alone.
Stephen Chbosky wisely wrote, "We accept the love we think we deserve." This statement resonates because it reflects how our self-perception influences the way we experience love and support. What happens when we delve into our past, confront our traumas, and reflect on our successes and failures? We begin to uncover our true, vulnerable, and genuine selves.

My experience in substance use disorder treatment informs my belief that there are many paths to sobriety and co-occurring treatment ensures sustainable long-term change.
Virtual or in person appointments available! Often people come to therapy looking to make sense of how their past experiences fit into the future they are crafting for themselves. I join my clients as a fellow explorer on this journey to write the next chapter and make meaning of their experiences. My therapy philosophy includes a social justice framework because I believe our stories are shaped by our cultural experiences, and often our problems arise from injustice and not personal failings. I am trained in EMDR to aid in processing and alleviating trauma and PTSD for anyone seeking healing and relief from their symptoms.

Addiction Therapists

What is the best therapy for addiction?

Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?

There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?

Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?

The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
