My goal & passion is to value all walks of life & experiences! I know it can be difficult to seek help, the idea of counseling can freak some people out. However, if you're looking here, you're halfway there. The impact of trauma, stigma toward mental health, addictions, the LGBTQ+ community, infidelity can reinforce dysfunctional coping, self-loathing and sometimes self-harm. It can keep people stuck. I understand this on a personal and professional level. Therapy's not easy and not the most ideal at times, but can help if you team up with someone who will earn your trust. I want to help those who want and need support

I am able to offer insight into issues surrounding substance use disorders, relapse prevention, PTSD, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, religious abuse/shame, relationship issues, and everyday life stressors.

Life can really suck sometimes. Especially lately. My name is Tori, and a lot of my work focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and burnout- especially creative burnout for musicians and artists. The world can feel overwhelming right now, and you might feel a little out of control. Therapy can be a place where we step back for a moment and make sense of your “inner world”.

Therapy is a place to slow down and make room for your full humanity, not a place where you need to be fixed or rushed. Here, there is space for every part of you: the messy, the in-progress, and the parts you’ve learned to carry quietly. Together we can approach difficult emotions with care and curiosity, creating room for understanding and connection rather than pressure for solutions. I will meet you where you are and walk down this path of healing alongside you. Whatever you’re feeling is alright!

I am drawn to people who are willing to understand themselves better. You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. You may be carrying unresolved pain, navigating life transitions, questioning your identity, or trying to make sense of patterns in your relationships. Many of the people I work with want relief from anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. They want clarity, confidence, deeper self-compassion, and more meaningful connections. In our work together, we would gently explore your needs and goals collaboratively and move at a pace that feels safe and steady.

Reflections Counseling Group was founded on the principle that everyone is capable of living a full and healthy life. It is not until we take the time to evaluate and reflect on life's experiences that we begin to live out the life we have and move towards the life we want. Taking an honest assessment of what is before us is where the work begins.

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.
