I specialize in alcohol and other drug addictions, adolescent and young adult issues, and help people see their behavior realistically so they use what they learn to improve their lives.

Clearly, my calling is helping to overcome addictions. Certified by Jeff and Debra Jay in Love First Interventions and trained by Dr. Judith Landow in Arise intervention methods, I am a Certified Intervention Specialist through the Pennsylvania Certification Board.

I'm not your average counselor. I've "been there and done that" enough to know what I'm talking about, and don't point fingers. I believe legal cannabis is great, but know anything done to excess, can hurt you. Don't be afraid to call with questions. I don't want to squash having fun and have learned that there are many pathways back to sanity.
