I am Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor (LCADC,) providing therapy to clients who struggle with substance abuse, chemical dependency, gambling disorder, and addictive behaviors. Additionally, I maintain certification as a Master Addiction Counselor (NCC AP MAC.) In practice, I often integrate clinical intervention with individuals who are struggling with anxiety and/or co-occurring conditions that often accompany illicit substance use. My experience is based on an extensive background in a variety of treatment settings. My method is based upon the concepts of mutual respect and a collaborative approach
My philosophical style is based upon establishing authentic rapport and creating a safe space to identify current issues and/or problematic behaviors that are causing distress and/or negative consequences. Several therapeutic models which guide my practice are techniques based upon Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Mindful-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT.) I approach recovery with a holistic perspective that will address wellness of mind, body, and spirit.
I look forward to helping clients develop self-awareness and build upon their specific objectives and unique individual qualities. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and am eager to meet you and determine your preferences in treatment.
