I am passionate about working with clients dealing with substance use issues, trauma, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, and a variety of other concerns.
Do you feel unsatisfied with where you find yourself at this time in your life? Are there patterns keeping you stuck or stagnant that you feel compelled to break? Or do you find yourself struggling to make it through each day while carrying the weight of something you've had to hold on your own for too long? For many of us, it can be overwhelming to make the types of changes needed to shift our relationships with ourselves and those around us in a more positive way.

Are you struggling to make sense of what you are experiencing & why? Maybe you are overwhelmed by your challenges (unaddressed trauma, substance use, etc.) and need help sorting out its complexities. I know that trauma can change your life in the hardest of ways AND I believe in your ability to heal from it. I believe in the importance of addressing underlying trauma that may be contributing to current difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship/codependency issues, substance use, anger, perfectionism, and more. I am trained in EMDR and use it frequently in the treatment of distressing symptoms for both teens and adults.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been in the field of human services for nearly two decades. Though I began with a career in law enforcement, I gradually began to feel a calling toward a different perspective of human services. As the world began to change and discrepancies within the legal system became more overt, I wanted to continue to serve my community in a way that would not penalize individuals for their shortcomings, substance use issues, or unaddressed mental health issues. As such, I decided to shift from law enforcement to pursue more clinical work with individuals, families, and groups.

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.
