How I will approach our work together
Specializing in:
I strongly believe in providing an open safe space with no judgement to discuss thoughts, feelings and behaviors with the intention of creating opportunities for change.
These changes may be practiced and adjusted as needed to find a solution that fits the unique person that is you.
If one is trying too make a change and has a slip or as I like to refer to as a "blip in the radar of life". We do not start all over, we look at what we learned with curiosity and we begin again right where we are in our process.
This is a shame and blame free environment.
My style is more guiding and directing than just listening, I am more of an active listener that offers different perspectives, ideas, pros/cons and creative solution options but you are always the one who chooses how or if to use any insights we discuss on your journey.
You have the power, I am just here to gently remind you, You got this!
I utilize different aspects and techniques of:

- Substance Use concerns ( including individuals who may not want life long abstinence but are interested in making changes in use such as moderation or a break )
- Substance use focus areas: Alcohol, Cocaine and other substances
- If use is more severe and requires higher level of treatment, I will work closely with inpatient program on integrated treatment and be here for you upon discharge
- Ketamine Assisted Therapy in collaboration with specific physicians in the US
- Anxiety and Panic Attacks
- Adult ADHD
- Depression and other mood concerns
- Life Stressors/Transitions such as loss of job, loved one, relationships, just feeling overwhelmed in general with life
- Grief and Loss
- Life Habits/Patterns that lead to decreased personal well-being. We all have patterns and habits but why we do them is not always what we intend. Our brains are built to find the easiest way to make us happy and sometimes what we have taught our brain needs to be unlearned and changed into a new pathway to happiness. These areas include over drinking, internet shopping, social media, over eating just to mention a few.
- I look forward to being able to utilize psychedelics as an appropriate option in some areas of mental health and substance use treatment in the future and have completed training in this area
- ( HB 549 ) Therapeutic use of Psylocibin and MDMA
- The process will include a collaboration with a Psychiatrist who is also certified in this area.
- I am open to discussion of benefits and challenges of Kratom Tea, prescribed Medical Marijuana and supplemental mushrooms/adaptogens by certified mycologists. I have a strong skill set with psychotropic medications and medication management but also very open to holistic options.
