I like to work with addicts & alcoholics who want recovery, to live a life free of substances and need recovery skills. If a client has the motivation for recovery & getting a good life back, they have what I can't give them.

I believe in the power or the 12-step programs and love to be a part of their success story!

Life is predictably unpredictable. Despite this, adapting to challenges may not always feel familiar or simple.

I strive to provide a holistic therapeutic approach that best fits each individual I work with.

Don't give up; NOW is the time to reach out. I will help you learn the tools to feel better and empower yourself to make positive changes in your life.
