As an expert in the field for marriage and family issues as well as
addiction
, I have specialized training in treating an array of mental health and
substance
abuse issues.
Therapy is a growth experience that can influence the way you view the world and yourself. As humans, we all experience times of discomfort and life transitions. Therapy is not only for those suffering from
addiction
or mental illness. It is also a way to gain skills, enhance your performance, and learn more about yourself. Barriers to becoming who you want to be can be explored in therapy and work to re-building life, relationships, and even your career.

I am honored to be of service to you. I know that trauma and
substance
abuse and
addiction
can wreak havoc in one's life. Many of client's find themselves faced with challenges of having to restart their lives during mental challenges and
addiction
; some may have to fight to regain custody of their children; many of them have co-occurring mental illness that has lead to
substance
abuse and/or
addiction
. For some,
addiction
comes by way of biological, environmental, and social influences, but from my experience, I have learned that mental illness was present before
addiction
became a factor. Take Control Today!
