My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety disorders, substance use, acculturation, and relationship/interpersonal difficulties and more.
For some, it might seem that the problem is so overwhelming, that it is difficult to take the first step. For others it may feel like there is not really (or shouldn’t be) a problem, and yet there is something that feels off. In therapy, your goals are your own and I hope to make you feel comfortable enough to express yourself freely.

I support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use issues, family/relationship issues, and life transitions.
The most important indicator for success in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. If you don't feel connected to the therapist you're working with, you likely won't benefit. I'm confident that my style as a therapist is one you'll feel comfortable with. I am very much “me” in and out of therapy. You may be feeling fearful to take this first step, or possibly overwhelmed by the many therapist pages you're coming across; however, with each step you take, your confidence to take another will build.

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.
