While I specialize in providing support and guidance to those individuals who are struggling with substance use or addictions, I also have a passion for working with clients presenting with other concerns such as anxiety, spirituality, and depression.
Life can be tough, am I right? Between work, your social life, and family priorities, you may feel stressed out, overextended, or constantly tense. Avoiding the problem or turning to a glass of wine or a pill has brought you comfort in the past, but is no longer providing the relief you seek. Maybe that one glass or one pill has turned into two, three, or four, or maybe you lost count. You are at a crossroads. You want to regain control over your life but aren’t sure where to start. Together we can work on managing the stressors in your life by developing healthy coping strategies and cultivating a stronger sense of self-worth.

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.
