My true passion is working with individuals whom are in need of hope, encouragement, and support to address difficult situations in their life. I strive to see people as individuals and to recognize their unique qualities and talents. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and my role in this process is to walk with the individual throughout this challenging process. Human beings are creatures of habit, therefore change is difficult for anyone. If you feel alone or defeated then change is that much more challenging.

I see counseling as a partnership between client and therapist. As a trained family counselor, I work with couples, parents with their children and with individual adults . I believe that generally people's behavior is an attempt to have their needs met and that by listening and honoring their efforts , counseling can help them redirect their efforts in a more effective and healing manner. I integrate my extensive experience as a child & family social worker with counseling practices to support couples and families ( including step&,foster-adopt families) to blend, communicate and heal from conflicts & separations.

I'm am looking for individuals who want to make positive changes in their lives and are ready to do the work to get there. People struggle with so many life challenges from personal decisions, decisions of others that affect us, life transitions, and just stressors of the world we live in. Clients that are ready to do the hard work of sharing their stories and exploring different ways of thinking and feeling are exactly those whom I am ready to walk beside to do sometimes hard, and always rewarding, work.

Waitlist for new clients
You’ve been told to “get over it,” that you “shouldn’t feel that way,” and that you’re “so negative.” So you tried to ignore your pain and it got stronger. You reprimanded yourself when difficult emotions surfaced. You found yourself feigning happiness to please those you spend time with. You’ve bottled up the past, feel unsteady in the present, and fear the future. Your ability to balance family commitments, work responsibilities, and social obligations is put to the test each day. You’re losing sight of who you are and where you’re going, but you haven’t lost your hope.

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.
