I work with individuals ages 16–64 seeking counseling for substance use disorders, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, and those feeling stuck in unhealthy thought patterns.
Asking for support and help can be difficult, if you struggle with some of these thoughts; “I’ve relapsed and shame is taking over.” “I’m so stressed out I can't function anymore.” “My life is out of control, how did I let it get to this point.” “All my family does is argue with one another.” Sometimes it all seems so overwhelming and impossible. My approach is solution focused with unconditional positive regard. I work in a non-judgmental space to help guide down a purposeful life, living up to your potential.

My specialties include impulsive/compulsive behavior, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, anxiety/OCD, and substance use.
Do you experience intense emotions that interfere with your relationships, personal goals or values? Do you turn to unhealthy coping strategies to feel better? The world around us can be overwhelming. We often turn to harmful behaviors because they make us feel better in the moment and give us a sense of control in an uncontrollable situation. Yet overusing behaviors such as binge-eating, shopping, drinking alcohol, using substances, or acting impulsively often cause long-term damage that we are later responsible for cleaning up.

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.
