I am passionate and compassionate about the care for addiction, medicine, and all mental health and I know they go hand-in-hand and I will treat you safely with medication and motivation. I am dedicated to treating the entire person, and not just the one or two concerns that might lead you to be seeking help.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session we will review all of the required paperwork and I will ensure you feel comfortable with me and my persona. My goal is for this first session to feel comfortable and welcoming even though there is a lot of paperwork and assessments that might need to be completed. My hope is that at the end of the first session you will feel comfortable and excited to work with me to put in the time and effort to to help you feel better.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am so passionate about helping people and making them feel as though there is nothing that they are not capable of achieving. I make it a point to be easily reachable to all of my clients and try and make every client feel like they are my only client. My goal is to provide you the absolute best care that leaves you feeling good about yourself and the therapeutic relationship.

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

Coming from a personal and professional background in addiction and treatment I understand how hard it can be to overcome these challenges. I promise to treat you with compassion and empathy and a complete lack of judgment and will encourage you to heal and recover through counseling and, when appropriate, medication. Helping people become their best selves, and encouraging clients to be brave enough to face their struggles and make life-changing improvements is my passion, and as scary as this might sound, I will be there for you through the entire process.
