Asking for help isn’t always easy, however when we finally do, we realize how much easier it is to do things alongside someone else. Life is always changing (for better or worse), people come and go in our lives as we get older, dealing with day-to-day emotions, it can all sometimes be hard to understand what they mean or why they are there. Through working together we can process these emotions, go with the changes and grow within ourselves. I created Better Together Counseling, LLC with the belief that we truly can get better when we work together!

Are you a Veteran seeking a Nexus letter/Independent Medical Opinion? My primary focus is on providing Mental Health Evaluations and Nexus letters for Veterans seeking mental health benefits from the VA. I have helped many veterans through the process, including preparing them for their C&P exam, obtaining other medical documentation, and providing support and guidance throughout. The process typically takes 7-10 days, and I work at your pace, as most Veterans have not asked for help.

Life can feel heavy when old wounds resurface, relationships feel unstable, or the past keeps showing up in the present. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported as you explore what’s beneath the surface. Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about reconnecting with who you truly are.

Accepting new clients virtually in New Jersey and South Carolina. Seeking therapy can often be very scary and overwhelming, especially when you are sharing your personal struggles with a total stranger. For me, one of the most important things when someone comes to therapy is meeting them where they're at in their life and helping them feel comfortable enough to share their burdens, in order to help them better themselves. You can find a way to live your life in the way you find most beneficial to you.

Feelings of stress, hopelessness, defeat, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, thoughts of self-harm, unhappiness, any dark thoughts, with physical feelings of shakiness increased breathing/heartrate, sweating, and tightness in chest can all be signs of a bigger problem. Recovering from any addiction is hard, and having a co-occurring behavior (i.e., bi-polar, personality disorder, etc.) can feel overwhelming. Carrying the weight of shame and guilt while rebuilding life after a violent relationship can feel lonely.

My background spans mental health and substance use treatment across outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and higher levels of care. This depth of experience allows me to understand not only the clinical side of healing, but also how systems, stress, and daily life truly impact mental health.

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.
