I have worked for many years with people struggling with addiction and the pain experienced by loved ones who live with it.
Sometimes we benefit greatly when we reach out for help with challenges that seem overwheming and are making us stressed out and exhausted, depressed and anxious. Sometimes we are dealing with internal states, confusion about what we want and even who we truly are, that produce these same sorts of symptoms. I would be honored to accompany and support you in addressing the challenges that may be keeping you from feeling well, authentic, contented and whole; that are keeping you from knowing and living out your true Self.

The current global crisis is stressful. For many of us it may be reactivating old layers of unresolved trauma, that shows up as chronic anxiety, dread, helplessness, relationship challenges, shame, or a shutting down to life and love, fueling unhealthy coping strategies. I believe we all have an innate capacity to heal from adversity. I support you to turn towards your symptoms with openness and curiosity so they can become a doorway to greater healing, growth and new possibility. I hope to empower and inspire you to heal and grow from past trauma. "There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in"( L. Cohen)

Therapy is accelerated with these modalities. And, we talk as well in order to help you integrate the changes you are making.

This is a trying time. Support is vital to living a full life. My approach is one of mentorship, not typical therapy. I am walking alongside you in life's journey, in addressing the big questions of who am I? And, what am I to do with this one precious life? Especially in the face of endless distractions, world crisis and basic relationships. I especially like working with teens and young adults, exploring these questions and issues. Sometimes we just need someone to back us up and reflect our personhood, engage our integrity and connect us to our deeper knowing. I guide an experience of connection that enables one to thrive.

My view on facing hardships in life is that none of us need to do it alone, and the only way over a difficulty is to go through it.

In my ten years of practice, I have specialized in adolescent and adult addiction therapy, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD and post-traumatic stress syndrome
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered, wrote the late, great writer José Saramago. In my practice, I work in communion with my clients to assist in interpreting their own personal chaos. The desire to be heard and understood is a fundamental need, one that can lead to better self-understanding, paving the path toward positive change. My goal as a licensed therapist is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my client to express the most troubling aspects of their daily life.

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.
