My Clients
Addiction and Substance Use Disorders
I am of the belief that all humans are individuals; that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to psychotherapy, especially in regard to substance use. I am trained in Integrated Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, which allows me to treat a patient without requiring them to be abstinent. I am also well versed in the 12-steps, Refuge Recovery and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, all effective ways to address and support a person struggling with addiction: chemical or process
I also offer a 6 week psychoeducational program for those who are mandated to receive limited treatment/education due to a DWI/DUI or other reasons.
Love and Relationships
Intimate relationships are delicate and navigating them can be complicated, and oftentimes, overwhelming.
On an individual level, I am able to guide you through tough interpersonal challenges and can assist you in identifying and removing whatever roadblocks are in your path. If you are single and looking for a relationship, I can help you connect with what you really want and offer strategies to obtaining it.
Although I do not treat couples, I have therapists in my network who do.
Anxiety and Depression
We are living in a time of mounting pressures: a higher cost of living, less job opportunities, and changes in the political climate. We have more options and choices than ever before, which can make us doubt ourselves.
Whether it’s coming from the outside world or from within, we put an undue amount of stress on ourselves which can seriously affect quality of life. I am skilled at helping people cope with symptoms of anxiety and depression, through psychoeducation, mindfulness and other ways of helping shift perspective and gain a sense of security.
Life Transitions
Life is not a linear process, and there are times where we find ourselves at a crossroads, not knowing how to proceed. The good news is, you don't have to go through this on your own.
Maybe you are going away to college for the first time, or coming home from school. It could be during the beginning of a new relationship or ending of a marriage. Maybe you have lost your job and are considering a new career all together. Whatever the specifics are, you deserve support in navigating this time in your life.
Life Coaching
For those who are struggling with taking actions in some area of your lives, I can help you get on the right track. Whether it's finding the right career path, helping you meet a goal or overcome a personal obstacle, I have many tools and creative strategies to offer in our work together.
