I commonly see people with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief. In session, we will look at what you are hoping to get from the counseling experience and collaboratively discover what will work for your situation, which may involve getting unstuck from emotional and/or behavioral issues. My orientation includes considering our relationships to life. We will take into account relational factors, which may include environments, people, culture, expectations and roles. The therapy process may assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of your values and skills, toward transformative change.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the U.S. Army and later taught English overseas in South Korea and China. I also spent many years working as a social worker with the Department of Veterans Affairs, helping veterans navigate challenges including mental health concerns, homelessness, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. These experiences taught me that people are often more resilient than they realize. They also taught me that meaningful change rarely comes from advice alone—it comes from understanding yourself, developing practical skills, and taking consistent action.

Someone who is ready for change, even if they don’t yet believe they’re capable of it. They may arrive in services feeling defeated, stuck, or overwhelmed. Many have faced significant trauma or instability: long-term substance use, incarceration, homelessness, family dysfunction, or mental health crises. They may be dealing with co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. I often work with individuals who are navigating legal systems, child custody concerns, housing insecurity, or who have cycled through treatment before but never felt truly understood or supported.

Hello, I’m Tim, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely welcomed, respected, and understood. My approach is person-centered, grounded in empathy and respect for your unique story. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are—without pressure or pretense. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. When you feel heard and supported, it becomes easier to explore challenges, build insight, and move toward the life you want.

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.
