As an Addiction Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals overcome substance use disorders and chemical dependencies through compassionate and evidence-based care. My services are provided primarily through HIPAA-compliant, secure online video sessions, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. With over 25 years of experience as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ICADC), and Licensed Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), I offer comprehensive services across multiple jurisdictions-including North Carolina and Virginia.
My Services Include substance use assessments, evaluations, education and treatment; individual and group therapy; treatment planning and aftercare support; DOT Return-to-Duty (SAP) evaluations; NC DWI evaluations; nicotine and tobacco cessation counseling; nutritional counseling for food addiction; and referrals and collaborative care with other providers.
My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Let’s work together to break the cycle of addiction and reclaim your health and peace of mind. Whether you're dealing with alcohol, drugs, nicotine, or food-related concerns, recovery is possible - and I'm here to walk with you every step of the way.
