I specialize in interventions, so my ideal client is the family member or friend of an addict. This "concerned other" is usually out of options and has lost hope. My job is to either re-instill hope or enhance the hope, so that the addict can be helped. With intervention, I use both the Johnson model and the ARISE model. With 16 years of experience conducting interventions, I have encountered most things that happen in an intervention, and can prepare the addict's family members and/or friends so they can walk through the intervention process with the least amount of anxiety.

Being a person is hard. And while life can often feel overwhelming, I believe that with the right support, everyone is capable of change and growth. A trusting therapeutic relationship can help us to reconnect with our authentic values, needs, and desires, opening up new pathways toward a more fulfilling life. With a background in philosophy, I have long been fascinated by the questions and challenges of living. However, it was my own recovery experience that inspired me to become a counselor and dedicate my time to helping others as they navigate their unique journeys toward healing.

We all deserve to feel safe, aligned and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self-awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we can trust ourselves we are more likely to live with meaning. I utilize an integrative lens: centered in somatic (EMDR, mindfulness), attachment and IFS orientations to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, feelings, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. Our work together involves expanding awareness of the felt senses to move towards a more integrated trusting self. I am tele-health in Oregon. Offering ecotherapy walks in Missoula.

You may appear to have it all together while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck inside. I work with adults, couples and families navigating trauma, anxiety, disordered eating and body neutrality, addiction and recovery, relationship challenges, life transitions, sexuality, and family-of-origin wounds (amongst other concerns). Many of my clients have spent years taking care of others or repeating painful patterns they can't seem to change. Together, we'll explore the emotions and experiences beneath those patterns, helping you build insight, resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting change, not just temporary relief.

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.
