I work with LGBTQ+, life-stage transition, dysphoria, pain, adjustment, anxiety, depression, couples, sexual issues and substance use.
The point of therapy is to get you to where you no longer need a therapist. I believe in reinforcing what strengths you already have while challenging which patterns slow down or stop progress or growth. There's no "right or wrong, good or bad" in addressing concerns. There's what works and what doesn't. Together, we can find what works to do more of it, and less of what doesn't. A therapists isn't some wise sage who has life figured out. I'm skilled in helping clients create a safe environment to explore concerns so that it's easier to recreate a sense security outside of the session.

Do you ever ask yourself why? Why am i going through what I am going through? Why cant i just "get over" it or move past it? The clients that I commonly work with are clients that are ready for a change. They have either tried to change on their own, or they have realized that in order to have lasting change they need a good support system. Many clients that I work with deal with depression, anxiety, bipolar, personality disorders, substance use issues, relationship issues, and issues dealing with daily life.

In the beginning, I focused on helping others and their families with substance use addiction.
“Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening. . ."Mark Twain. This quote illustrates the kind of practice I strive to create. I believe it is necessary to encourage clients to feel free from judgment, criticism, or fear from what someone else thinks. My goal is to provide a safe place using an eclectic approach involving person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows clients to establish a course that is personally tailored to meet the needs of those with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with multiple years’ experience in treating mental health issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, BPD, substance use, and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Have you been told you have PTSD? Or, do you have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative self-talk that all started with a traumatic event(s)? If so, you have come to the right place. People with trauma often find themselves spending countless hours in therapy but not getting lasting relief. That is because not every therapist is specially trained to treat trauma, and not every therapy intervention is able to access the part of the brain where traumatic memories live.

I love helping individuals dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, stress management, self-esteem, and trauma/abuse.
I believe seeking help to overcome difficulties in life is a sign of immense strength. We all face challenges, big and small, and sometimes we need someone to walk with us through those tough times. My role as your therapist is to meet you where you are in life and provide a safe, nurturing environment free of judgement, for you to work through any challenges you may be facing while providing appropriate coping skills to conquer those issues. It is essential to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness or failure, but rather a courageous step towards personal growth, resilience, and well-being!

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.
