I believe that each individual is both the text and the author, and work with clients to make meaning and find fulfillment in a world that is often unpredictable. I consider reflection and revision of earlier chapters, as well as intentional focus on the present moment to be key components in the process of taking ownership of one’s experience. Some of my areas of professional interests include identity (particularly surrounding issues of gender), guilt and shame, drug and
alcohol use
. I am also interested in healthy relationships, trauma and the social determinants of mental health.

If I were to say if I had a type of client, it would someone that wants help. If there is a need for me to work harder than the person coming for the therapy session, then maybe they just might not yet be ready to address some of the deeper-rooted issues that led them to step out and ask for help. I know I try to remain more attuned and aware that the readiness to change is key to the success of therapy for a client. I want to work in tandem with the person to reach the goals they have set for themselves.

What is the benefit of not engaging in your recovery? What is it costing you not to engage in your recovery? What is the costs or difficulties to not engaging in your recovery? What are the benefits of engaging in your recovery? I believe in teaching you that identifying, avoiding, and managing the triggering places, people, feelings and things associated with the urges of substance use are key to obtaining your personal wellness and recovery.

Do you find yourself missing your spark? Do you find that your moods have control over your life? Do you find yourself in this never-ending cycle of shame and trying to escape through unhealthy ways? Many people have found themselves stuck in this story and feeling numb to it all. This can rob you of joy and take away your spark. I think one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your story. Using a strength- based and collaborative approach, I can offer you the space to rewrite your story into one of empowerment and resilience.

My clients are suffering from marital issues and other personal issues that cause immense psychological pain. Most of my clients have turned to addictive behaviors to cope. Others practice self-harming behaviors - however, this can be seen as addictive behavior as well. Couples find a safe place in my office to work through their issues and develop stronger and healthier relationships. I use a strength-based and interactive model, as we set short-term goals and develop a healthier social network to help maintain sobriety and healthier living in the long run. I use an integrative approach to treat the whole person.

Pain is often the deepest around what matters most to us. Those that work with me often feel caught-like there is never enough time for what matters the most. Amidst busy careers and their commitment to care for others, they struggle to find time to care for themselves. They try to ignore the stress, which often leads them to feel exhausted, but they tell themselves they'll get to it later. Meanwhile, difficulties with worries, rage, sadness, sleep, and stress emerge. Sometimes old hurts that they thought were left behind resurface and they wonder how long it will be before they feel like themselves again. They feel alone.

It takes courage to ask for help. If you're reading this then you’ve already taken the first step toward healing, and I applaud you for that. I am a licensed independent social worker and a licensed independent chemical dependency counselor with over 15 years of experience with individuals, couples, families, and groups from many different backgrounds and settings. I'm interested in long term, sustainable mental and emotional health. There are a lot of therapies out there that claim to be ‘the’ way, but I find that if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

I feel the most helpful with clients who experience unmanaged symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Addiction, Grief and Trauma. Left unmanaged, these disorders can decrease our sense of self worth. A variety of other issues might develop such as relationship conflicts, loneliness, phobias, panic attacks, and substance abuse. Along with empowering individuals to become mentally strong, I enjoy helping Couples improve their relationship. Whether it's teaching communication skills, conflict resolution skills or endeavoring to heal from specific events and issues, there are gains we can make by working together.

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.
