Drug and alcohol abuse does not happen in a bubble; an individual’s substance use affects everyone they come into contact with and everyone affects the addict. As a Recovery Counselor, I am available to help everyone involved who are willing to begin looking at possibilities for change. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults and families who have been affected by substance abuse.

​

I utilize many different treatment approaches including; CBT, Solution Focused, and DBT therapies which have a, reality based model. This means that as we explore the many struggles that substance use brings to individuals and families. I am here to provide information as well as empathy to help you find the strength to move forward into recovery.

​

I specialize in working with individuals in the recovery process and their families. Understanding the changes that are required, every step of way, is key to learning how to reach out and support each other. I provide education about both addiction, recovery and the biochemistry of substance abuse.

​

It is essential to remember that removing substances is only a first step in making this important life change; behaviors, fears and habits are harder to change. As a licensed addiction counselor, I will help you identify  the aspects that need to be changed and identify the direction that will work best for your individual recovery process.
