I work with individuals and couples that are burdened with unprecedented responsibility right now. Impossible expectations often lead to isolation and discourse, hiding our fears and doubts, and resentments. Hiding our true selves can increase negative coping skills, like over or under eating/drinking/sleeping. Therapy can become a place to process and share your inner thoughts and concerns, find balance, and find some new tools to feeling more grounded. I work with folks to feel confident to be transparent to loved ones and seek changes to improve their daily lives. My couples leave empowered to have the tough talks without fear.

I believe in our society today we are seeing things rapidly changing, we as individuals are always striving to find the next right thing. One thing that seems to remain the same is helping others and how we feel when we are helping others. We all have a purpose in life we just need to find out what that purpose may be. I strongly believe that we need to meet the client where they are and allowing the client to reach their own goals. I have assisted clients to begin to identify and address the place of being stuck and bringing them to their path of change.

The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought & by the mind. Since the mind is conditioned by the past, you are then forced to reenact the past again and again. This quote by Eckart Tolle is at the core of my belief in what troubles most of us. We live in our minds, incessantly thinking about our fears, failings, troubled relationships, losses, & shortcomings. We spend too much time inside the mind. The trouble is that when we treat our thoughts and feelings as facts, we allow anxiety, doubt, sadness, hopelessness & self-loathing can take hold and thrive.

Successful treatment helps someone work through particular difficulties to a [significant] enough degree so that he or she is not doomed to repeat mistakes, symptoms, and less healthy ways of engaging with the world. The potential personal growth can lead to [meaningfully] improved interpersonal relationships, overall adaptation, and contributions to and enjoyment of life.

First and foremost, I treat people. You are not a disease or a disorder. You are a person struggling with an issue that is preventing you from living the type of life you want... and it is from there that we begin. People I work with often come to me with issues such as anxiety, depression, obsessive/compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other problems. This list is by no means exhaustive, and in our initial session, after a comprehensive assessment of the issue, we will discuss whether or not your issue can be treated by me. If not, I will refer you to another professional who is trained to address your needs.

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.
