"About the Owner: I have over 18 years of experience working in the addiction and mental health field. I am experienced in various roles across the substance use treatment services continuum of care in both micro and macro levels.

"I have been working with people for over 25 years in a variety of settings (residential, inpatient and outpatient). My specialties are mental health (depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma) and substance abuse. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we feel stuck. I want to help you gain the skills necessary to achieve the goals you have set for yourself--even if that is just feeling better.

" I have been practicing in the field of substance use and mental health for over 9 years, in a variety of roles.

"I offer evidence-based, client centered, treatments delivered with compassion, humor and intelligence. My job satisfaction comes from seeing large changes in my clients over a short period of time. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and include elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Art Therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychosocial intervention that is the most widely used evidence-based practice for improving mental health. Guided by empirical research, CBT focuses on the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems and changing unhelpful patterns in cognitions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes), behaviors, and emotional regulation."

"***Accepting blue cross blue shield clients***Parents and children have been having disagreements since the beginning of time. Sometimes these disagreements escalate causing serious stress and trauma for both sides. It can be hard to understand what a child is going through, especially when you feel you’ve done everything you possibly can to make things better. The loss of control coupled with feelings ranging from hopelessness to anger can lead to strained and fractured family dynamics. "
