I have have been a Clinical Social Worker for 25 years in addition to being a Drug and Alcohol Counselor for 6 years.
I grew up attending an inner-city school and have street credibility with hard to reach kids and adults. I've had success with kids and adults who feel they just don't fit and men who have a difficult time expressing their feelings.

Only accepting intensives and Ketamine Assisted tx. Despite difficulties in life, I believe people have an amazing amount of resilience and strength. I work to enhance their strength that gets lost when overwhelmed by challenges. Using multiple modalities, individuals move beyond their old story and into the life they desire. I hear from clients that "therapy has never helped me" and clients of mine have achieved their goals. I have specialty training with trauma which, by definition is "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience". I assist people in trusting their innate abilities to make decisions from a healthy perspective.

My work centers the needs of LGBTQIA+ adult populations, ENM partnerships, individuals with ADHD, addictions populations, and therapy for therapists.
Therapy produces its own unique ecosystem. In the right collaboration, essential growth-oriented risks can be taken. Various tools developed for emotional survival in formative years can later present as automatic interpersonal response patterns, which operate instinctually long after the initial benefits have ceased. Left unexamined, this can pose limitations on the quality of one's life in a social-relational context. Sustainable transformation can be expected from therapy comprised of honest self-reflection and an active investment in the process over time.

I usually find that clients managing anxiety, depression, loss and/or addiction are first looking for a compassionate listener with the experience and knowledge that facilitates emerging inner strength.
Addiction is so widespread that much of my work centers around this. My work in theology at Yale Divinity School, and counseling at Antioch Graduate School have lead to "unconditional positive regard" for every person I work with. We are all in this together and are connected.

Focusing on you as the expert in your own life, together we can explore how to alleviate experiences you may be having with depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicidal ideation, (among other needs), creating a treatment plan to help you find the best path forward.
We live in an incredibly fast paced world, focused on capitalistic systems that value productivity, individuality, and a quest for materialism. This often leads to exhaustion, challenges in our relationships, and a disconnect from caring for ourselves. My goal is to provide a compassionate setting to explore your experiences that may be contributing to internal distress and disconnection, focusing on you as the expert.

In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy didn't know she had the way back to Kansas all along, but she knew she had to start somewhere. The decision to begin therapy can feel like that; uncertain, but knowing you have to start and summoning the courage to make the call. Like Dorothy in her quest to get back home, a therapy journey creates an opportunity for you to find something important and precious. It can help you reclaim what's lost, or it can guide you to something new and different. It supports you in becoming free of persistent patterns and obstacles, awakening potentials you sense are there but don't know how to tap into.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
