Orgasms are not guaranteed and can be elusive. Sometimes the body doesn't want to cooperate with you. Your head can be your greatest obstacle to your enjoyment. Sometimes we just don't know why we can't have great sexual fulfillment every time. It can take therapy for you to know what you need to feel sexually satisfied. ED, porn/sex addiction, LGBTQIA+, polyamory, BDSM, kinks, and fetishes can all play a part in your ability to be sexually satisfied.

Do you want to integrate your physical, emotional, and spiritual health? Trauma, chronic pain, substance use disorders (SUD) and other behavioral disorders impact all aspects of health. Many of my patients have a SUD - either active or in long term remission. Some of my patients are struggling with a physical diagnosis that is strongly connected to their emotions. It is not "all in your head", it is in your brain and your body. I can manage very complex medication regimens, but do not rely solely on medications. The goal is to support you in achieving joy and optimal function. You identify goals and I assist you in achieving them.

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.
