I’m struggling with addiction. Do I have to be abstinent from drugs and alcohol before starting therapy with you?

No! If you are simply thinking about how substances are impacting your life, want to reduce your substance use, or want to use substances in less harmful ways, I am happy to work with you. Our work will be organized around your goals for your life and your relationship to substances.

What treatment modalities do you support for clients with addiction?

I support (and facilitate referrals as needed for) Medication Assisted Treatment, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, 12 Step, Harm Reduction, Contingency Management, and Motivational Interviewing.

What is walk-and-talk therapy?

Walk-and-talk therapy is talk therapy conducted while moving your body outdoors in nature. Exercise, time in the sun, and time in nature are all shown to boost mood and well-being. Some clients also find walking side-by-side less intimidating than facing their therapist in a traditional office setting.
