If you are dealing with the challenges of alcohol or other substance problems (including gambling)—your own or those of a loved one—you know all-to-well the painful impacts these can bring. I can help. As a licensed psychologist, CEO, and thought leader in the addictions field for more than twenty years, I know the treatment system thoroughly.

The therapeutic relationships I form with my clients instill hope for a better tomorrow. My focus is to provide you with a level of safety and trust that facilitates an effective treatment process. My experience has taught me that clients are more motivated to stay in therapy when they decide how they want to improve by the end of therapy. An important part of my role as a clinician is to assist clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. To do that, I have to keep the therapy relevant to those objectives. Humor and creativity in conjunction with friendly, goal-oriented clinical relationships have proven to be quite successful.
