I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) certified and EMDR trained. I specialize in trauma work and substance abuse. I have worked in the field of substance abuse treatment since 2008. I am 19 years clean from all substances. I am also a survivor of stage 3 lung cancer. I strive to meet my clients where they are and gently suggest tools to help achieve the change they are looking for. I truly want to help.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will spend some time getting to know each other. In the process of the next few sessions, we will solidify a plan of action and then work toward your goals. We will find what works for you and what does not. We will adjust goals along the way. This is your journey. I see myself as a guide more than anything.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My training and life experience are my strengths. I understand because I have been there.
