I am a licensed substance use therapist specializing in the treatment of substance and behavioral abuse disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma. I practice individual, group, family, and couples therapy. I received an M.Ed. in Psycho-educational Processes from Temple University and an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I take an active, person-centered approach to therapy, making room for personal exploration, questioning, and collaborative problem solving.
My license as a clinical alcohol and drug counselor not only denotes a specialty in mental health counseling but also a concentration in substance use treatment. With experience in substance use disorder treatment, I am able to provide integrated care, which is a valuable benefit to any program.
I have worked as a therapist for more than 30 years. In my personal time, I enjoy walking, visiting museums, practicing yoga, reading, traveling, and listening to music.
