I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Master Addiction Counselor. My 25+ years of experience has allowed me to witness the long-term recovery of those suffering from Substance Use Disorders. Recovery isn't just limited to the person using or drinking. Integrated recovery techniques and approaches for the family are critical in the success of sustained recovery. I offer a partnership to walk with you in the journey of addiction treatment.

Having 25+ years of experience, has helped me craft my counseling skills to better serve my clients. A compassionate, empathetic and non-judgement approach is critical to help clients open up and find relief that they are not alone in this journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

If you or a loved one is experiencing the negative effects of addiction, seeking help with an experienced addiction counselor is critical. Addiction effects the whole family. Loved ones are often hurt and confused and don't know where to turn. Having someone trained in the family aspect of addiction aids in the recovery of the entire family.
