I am so excited to be able to offer Art Therapy as a unique counseling alternative to traditional talk therapy. I believe strongly that through the art making process one can learn a great deal about themselves and find ways to handle current challenges. I have a studio filled with everything from drawing materials and paints to clay, plaster, found objects and much more. Together we can explore different mediums and help you find your voice through the creative process. My background in the creative arts allows us the opportunity to add music, poetry/journaling, movement and drama if you would like. No prior artistic skills are needed. My goal is exploring the art process and thoughts and feelings that arise from the creation of art work rather than achieving a polished finished product. I look forward to providing therapy in the art studio with individuals, families and groups.

I have been a Mental Health Counselor since 2009. I have been a therapist exclusively for young women since I began my career. I offer my counseling services specifically for young women (roughly ages 17-45). I enjoy helping women to understand and learn how to treat their anxiety, depression, ADHD, improve self esteem, build their skills for healthy relationships and I provide divorce support. My priority is to make you feel comfortable so you are able to talk about any issues that you need to work through. My style of counseling is relaxed, which I believe is key to helping you to be able to access and express difficult emotions.

An Ideal client is one who is willing to work actively with me to solve their issues. We work together to develop a treatment plan and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with anxious and phobic clients and see them face, confront and feel the freedom that comes from being phobic-free and more relaxed. I have a passion for working with victims of narcissists (bullies) who learn how to stand up to these people and no longer feel like a victim.

I help adults who find themselves secretly feeling stuck and unfulfilled despite looking fine and capable on paper. Who are struggling with relationship difficulties, hidden feelings of being unlovable, carrying a heavy sense of responsibility for others' emotions, and a quiet self-dislike masked by an outwardly confident demeanor; and want to make proactive life choices out of genuine desire rather than obligation, want to feel comfortable embracing new people and experiences, and live free from rigid thinking and constant concern over what others may think.

I have been a clinical social worker since 2001 and first began to provide counseling when I was a graduate student. I have worked with hundreds of adult and adolescent clients of all ages since then who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, impact of childhood trauma on adult functioning/relationships, bipolar disorder and those living with chronic mental and physical health issues. I can help you help yourself to finally feel better using techniques derived from solution-focused, cognitive-behavior (CBT) and dialectical-behavior (DBT) therapies.

I never cease to be amazed at the strengths my clients show when tackling challenges, experiencing distressing emotions, or recalling upsetting memories. I would like to help you see and develop those strengths in yourself. Working together, we will find ways for you to use your strengths to make the changes you desire in your life. I work well with a variety of issues but feel I can be most helpful to those who have histories of trauma and abuse, individuals who struggle with coping with emotions, and people whose lives have been significantly impacted by mood or anxiety disorders.

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.
