I have served adolescent and adult populations impacted by substance use disorder, trauma, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence and family conflict since 2010.
Taking teens and adults on weekends and evenings. Are you facing struggles like anxiety, depression (postpartum or otherwise), parenting, relationship or interpersonal / family issues? Maybe you're noticing that- as a response to stress or old habits- you've built an unhealthy relationship to alcohol, substances or food. I provide an open and positive space to explore any of these issues and work with folks to identify realistic and promising solutions for wellness.

When something traumatic happens in our lives it can be difficult to move forward in meaningful ways. We often keep getting drawn back into the same patterns of destructive thoughts or behaviors. It becomes difficult to get out of these habits until we process the traumatic events at the root of these thoughts and behaviors. Therapy is one stepping stone in the healing journey of many people who have experienced trauma in their lives.

Substance Use 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.
