Substance use and substance use disorders (SUD) affects most areas of one’s life that can include educational, vocational, mental health, family and other relationships. There are many ways to facilitate positive change! I provide therapy for individuals and/or their family members struggling with behavioral, emotional, or relational issues of any kind (not limited to substance use) or for someone who just wants a safe space to process the week's events. Facilitating change often requires multiple approaches tailored to the individual(s) and their current circumstances.

Narcissistic abuse is something many of us go through but don’t even realize it. Rather it be from a boss, co-worker, spouse, parent or parents, the result is still the same, you are left felling emotionally dysregulated (up and down), drained, and very distrustful of others. Sometimes you feel like you can’t even trust yourself, let on communicate how you feel effectively with others. If this is you, I’d like to speak with you to see if I may be of service to you. You are not alone in this, healing and regulation is possible, you just have to work for it.

Have you tried therapy before and found that it didn’t work? Do your efforts to change your thinking, feelings, or behavior only last for a while before old patterns return? True change requires a deeper look into the parts of you that quietly fuel your struggles and shape how you see yourself and others. Healing isn’t easy. It asks for honesty, courage, and a willingness to get uncomfortable when truths are revealed. But on the other side is real peace, freedom, and a life that finally feels like your own. You don’t have to keep fighting the same battles alone. if you’re ready, it's time to reach out. I'd be honored to support you.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
