It takes courage to seek help. You need someone to listen to you and help you navigate the transitions you're experiencing. I work with individuals who are experiencing life transitions such as grief/loss, anxiety, relationship issues/ break-ups, and addiction issues . Other specialties include woman's issues (i.e., pregnancy, infertility, menopause) and couples therapy. I partner with clients to empower them by sharing coping skills, explore problem-focused strategies, promote growth and healing that's specific to the discomfort being experienced. Help is a phone call away.

Healing is a journey. For some, "healing" means reversing years of trauma, and for others it means 'getting out of my own head' or 'getting un-stuck.' For everyone, the path to healing is a difficult one, and it is lighter, easier, more meaningful when others join in with you. To you who have tried to go it alone, I invite you to reach out. Connecting with a counselor is a way to get un-stuck in your journey towards health, to bring healing to those deeper places of hurt.

I am an experienced pragmatic psychotherapist who also does psychological evaluations. My ideal client is one who has self doubts, experiences guilt and shame, yet has potential to be a highly fulfilled person. Such a person may have insecurities in work and relationships, yet be but one step away from doing well in these areas. I have had a wide exposure to a diverse set of problems in living in my career.

Acceptance might be the first step to change, but change is hard. I aim to create a supportive, holistic, empowering, and safe setting to process and understand what is specifically challenging for you. Often, my clients feel like they “don’t belong,” stuck in unwanted behaviors or looking to understand themselves better. I believe by attuning compassionately to our bodies and minds, as well as each other, we can sense what needs to change and heal. Also, I consider myself a very real person in the therapy space, which often includes understanding, laughter, radical acceptance, forgiveness, and open and honest communication.

You are exhausted from overthinking, overperforming, and overstressing. You work hard to reach your goals, and you find some relief once you do, but then the bar moves again. There’s an endless “to-do” list that just keeps growing. Despite your accomplishments, you find yourself wondering “Am I doing enough?” or even “Am I enough?”. You have abundant compassion for your family and friends, but you struggle to find the same compassion for yourself. Something needs to change, but anxiety and exhaustion are keeping you stuck.

What has lead you to therapy can be defined as a moment that you chose a different path. It is brave to pick ourselves up when we fall, brave to continue on in the face of adversity— and it is braver still to ask for help. I’ll bring my sense of wonder and hope for the human spirit. I will bring my goodwill and eagerness to help. I'll bring my curiosity and openness and ask questions that will clarify for the both of us. I hope that you will bring your willingness to work hard in the face of difficult questions. It isn’t easy to admit we might need change, and it’s hard to accept change-- even if that change is for the better.

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.
