Reaching this new chapter of life felt like a milestone and you couldn't wait to get started. But now that you're here, your brilliant future is a blank page. Where do you even begin? It's so overwhelming that you get caught up in the day-to-day tasks, taking care of others, procrastinating, doom-scrolling... You never really get to the thing that moves your own story forward; not that you even know what that "thing" would be. So instead you end up spinning with anxiety or beating yourself up with words you wouldn’t say to an enemy. You feel the clock ticking. Everyone else is making plans, leveling up... Why can’t you get unstuck?

We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

I have been working in the counseling field for 20+ years and have been privileged to listen to the hearts and souls of clients who've experienced a myriad of emotions when reflecting on their interpersonal journeys. My traditional practice is client-centered, so that I can provide an empathetic approach and guide clients through challenging reflections. Providing a safe space for clients to process their feelings at their own pace and work through personal experiences is something that gives them the autonomy to recognize and process their own emotions. I believe that CBT emphasizes this process and is crucial to their journey

Viktor Frankl once said "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how". Frankl was actually quoting Nietzsche while trying to survive his own devastating experiences. However, it leads to the question... "what is YOUR why?". If you are struggling to answer that question, while simultaneously struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, or substance abuse issues, then you have come to the right place. Let's find your 'why' together.

Drug Abuse 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.
