If you are not living as mentally and/or physically healthy as you want and are feeling powerless to create change, I’m here to show you that you ARE NOT powerless! You do have the strength and ability within you to make changes and take control of you life. The power lies in the understanding that mental, physical and spiritual health are interconnected. Whether you're struggling with anxiety and depression, contemplating or recovering from divorce or an abusive relationship, or experiencing an unhealthy relationship with food and low self-esteem, we will develop a holistic plan to move you to more joy and peace in your life.

I have extensive experience treating substance use disorders and related trauma. I also have created a subspecialty called ABC therapy that directly addresses the needs of families involved with substance use.
