Substance Abuse
Making the choice to pursue therapy means two things: 1) you feel ready to face something you want to change or improve in your life, and 2) you realize that you don't have to do it alone. Both of these demonstrate wisdom and strength, and it's an honor to be a part of that journey with my clients. Taking the step to work with a therapist allows you to hit the "reset button" on circumstances that may otherwise have you stuck. It offers a fresh perspective and a new set of skills with which to tackle the problem.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years' experience partnering with individuals, couples, and families on issues related to substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. My approach is holistic. We won't just look at isolated problems, but work together to understand your personal context and goals.
When life gets complicated with issues related to substance abuse or mental health, you may desire an empathetic ear, but also practical guidance. My goal is to provide both. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or struggling over a loved one's problem, I'd like to help.
