I am licensed in both counseling and addiction.
Life offers ample opportunity to learn from adversity and other life experiences. My goal is to help guide you through accepting loss or change while transforming into a stronger overall person. To personalize and individualize care, I work from an eclectic, humanistic approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, art therapy, and other techniques while offering a safe, nonjudgemental healing space. Working in this field since 2006 has allowed me to further my education and licensure to provide quality care to individuals with a wide range of mental health, addiction, and life issues.

I work with both adults and adolescents regarding a wide array of concerns or issues such as depression, anxiety, codependency and relationship issues, substance abuse or addiction, past childhood trauma, and life transitions.
It takes courage to initiate the healing process. It can feel intimidating and like stepping into unknown territory at times. It is my goal to make this process less intimidating and more predictable by creating a therapeutic alliance to assist in developing meaningful goals. Therapy can sometimes be messy, uncomfortable, and challenging but therapy can also be healing, calming, and liberating.

I work mainly with PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, and ADHD/ADD.
My clients often come to therapy feeling confused, overwhelmed, and somehow underprepared for the circumstance they are in. Oftentimes daily self-care has been lacking, low mood and isolation have been taking place, and general dissatisfaction with life. Some just feel that things should be different but feel helpless to make these changes or have tried over and over to change with no clear results. They want and need to feel better and are looking to feel they can manage the day without overwhelming fear or crippling anxiety.

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.
