I offer counseling services to individuals with addictions and substance abuse problems, and to those who love them.

The person feels relief after partaking, so the desire to use the method again becomes stronger until it becomes an addiction. I individualize plans to tailor to your needs and offer evidence-based solutions to help you regain control of your life. In addition, I am a U.S. Department of Transporation Services Substance Abuse Professional which means that I work with commercial transportation workers who have tested positive for a substance while on the job. Call today to talk about your needs.

As a therapist who has worked with both teens and adults with substance use disorders and addiction for years, I can say I truly enjoy being a part of the healing that takes place in recovery. Addiction is still one of the most stigmatized mental health issues, and still somehow seen as a personal flaw more so than a brain process. Healing from addiction requires someone that has the experience to know when to empathize, and when to challenge and it takes a therapist with a ton of patience and compassion to be comfortable reaching into the darkest parts. Addiction is not your fault, but recovery becomes your responsibility and it helps to have an ally willing to go there with you.

Client who work with me will benefit from having someone who understands the issue and has experience in treating it, and I look forward to giving you your power back.

In my approach to working with clients struggling with addiction, I implement a set of techniques aimed at creating a positive and supportive environment conducive to clients' success and resilience in the face of setbacks. Recognizing that the decision to seek addiction treatment is often challenging, I acknowledge the potential external pressures or societal stigma clients may face. Central to my approach is conveying to clients that their well-being is of utmost importance. By fostering an atmosphere where they feel safe discussing their vulnerabilities and hardships, I aim to empower them on their path to recovery.
