My 30 years of sobriety coupled with my education and experience affords me a unique perspective counseling addicts and families. I trained at the Hanley Center and worked as the primary therapist in the men's unit there for 15 years. I left Hanley for private practice and also serve as clinical director of several South Florida drug and alcohol programs. My client-centered practice uses a variety of techniques to develop coping mechanisms, life skills and coaching to help addicts recognize their vulnerabilities, which lead to compulsive and addictive behaviors and the ensuing shame, depression and anxiety.

Have you ever wondered what is making you feel sad or why you are constantly feeling anxious all the time? Are you overwhelmed by the circumstances you are currently facing or having difficulty accepting situations that occurred in the past? Are you experiencing self-esteem issues or having difficulty at work or school? Perhaps you would like assistance creating a healthier and cohesive family structure or marital bond.

We all have times when we need someone to listen to us without judgement and help us to find our own answers. I can help you address issues with food, alcohol and other unhealthy cycles of behavior that are causing you stress. Feelings of depression, anxiety & shame can be overwhelming for someone struggling with addiction. Self-esteem and relationships are greatly impacted. Family and friends can feel confused and helpless when a loved one is hurting & communication is often strained. Learning to manage your emotions with greater insight and improved coping skills will allow for a more balanced life for you and your loved ones.

Whether you are facing this problem for the first time or have struggled with it for years, I am here for you. In fact, I have been in your exact shoes. It can be scary, depressing, and extremely frustrating. The good news is that it doesn't have to stay that way. Working with someone who understands what you are going through and also has the skill set to help you can be very relieving. Your therapy sessions should be the time for you to better understand what is happening with you, not doubting whether your therapist even understands. Allow me to be your guide and provide the road map you need to reach your chosen destination.
