After earning a Master's in Social Work from the University of South Carolina in 2003, I began working at Steppingstones as a group therapist. While I am not recovering from a substance use disorder myself, I have an extensive understanding of the progression of addiction, the process of recovery, and family dynamics of addiction. In addition to addiction treatment experience, I find fulfillment working with the various issues faced by emergency responders, including law enforcement officers, paramedics and fire fighters, as well as people seeking help for mental health concerns.

I work best with individuals, children, teens, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Many of my clients come in struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stress, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, trauma, grief, or difficulty managing emotions. Some feel like they’ve been carrying everything on their own for far too long, while others are trying to make sense of experiences that still feel heavy. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I specialize in supporting women with anxiety and mood conditions, fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, pregnancy loss, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions.
Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? You probably carry so much but somewhere along the way, your own needs moved to the bottom of the list. You’re used to pushing through and showing up for others, even when you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. You might be navigating pregnancy, motherhood, trauma, or a major life transition and realized the ways you’ve coped before aren’t sustainable. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. I support women through vulnerable seasons, offering a place to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
