To facilitate the most insight and emotional growth as possible for clients, my goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgemental and confidential environment. Through this environment and exploration clients will be better able to set and attain healthy goals and lifestyles.

Substance Abuse often negatively affects many areas of your life. Recovery is possible if treated with therapy.
