Are you experiencing problems with alcohol or other drugs? Are you caught up in a cycle of other addictive behaviors such as gambling or the Internet? I have good news and bad news for you. First the bad news: it takes effort to stop addictive behaviors, and to address the underlying emotional or trauma issues that compel you to relapse over and over again. There’s no magic wand, no Abracadabra. Now the good news. The cycle doesn’t have to be endless, and recovery is possible! I do individual, couples and family counseling.
I have 27 years experience working in the addictions and mental health treatment field and have worked in a variety of settings. I authored a workbook on Mindfulness-Based Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. I also specialize in behavioral addictions like gambling and the Internet, as well as coping with trauma that can perpetuate addictive behavior.
My approach is eclectic, client-centered, empathic, and goal-directed. My priority is to help folks either still struggling with addiction or beginning the recovery journey. I can help you chart a path to sobriety and wellness, and to address the underlying reasons behind addictive behavior. I offer virtual appointments as well as in-person appointments.

For substance use disorders and behavioral addictions, I would normally work with you for 3-12 months utilizing cognitive behavior therapy, Mindfulness and other approaches as we tailor your treatment plan to your needs. We may include other empirical therapies, which we could discuss. Most clients find that when they learn and apply recovery skills, they get results! That is my hope for you.
