Are you using distractions ( substances, food, devices) to soothe yourself which is causing more suffering instead of bringing relief?
Have you tried therapy in the past and it didn't provide you everything you were hoping for? Perhaps there are old traumas still lingering or not yet uncovered traumas that might be hovering in the background? Together we can unpack these challenges that you just thought you would have to live with because the good news is you don't have to live with them.

I specialize in depression, relationship issues, anxiety, and substance and behavioral addictions.
I believe that meaning is ultimately what drives us; without purpose, life can be really hard. I offer a meaning making based approach (often referred to as Logotherapy). My primary goal as a therapist is to truly understand you and your struggle. I will deeply listen and help you navigate current stressors, past trauma, and greater meaning.

I want to share something important about who I am. I live with cerebral palsy, and that experience has deeply shaped my perspective, resilience, and the way I show up in the world. It has strengthened my empathy, sharpened my determination, and fueled the passion I bring to my work every day. I also believe that humor is an essential part of healing and connection—so if you appreciate a genuine laugh along the way, we’ll likely work well together.

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.
