Thank you for allowing me to journey with you. Some roadblocks may occur on the road to recovery and/or healing but we will overcome them as we work together. As the saying states, "You can't heal from what you conceal". Therefore, with perseverance to forge ahead; courage in the face of adversity, cultivating faith and hope to envision a better tomorrow by NOT allowing fear to hold you captive, no goal is insurmountable to achieve. You can do it! You deserve inner peace, love and joy in life. I can help you achieve your goals through collaboration, offering support and encouragement to promote empowerment to accomplish your goals.
As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, I have over 25 years of experience in substance use and addictions counseling; addressing a myriad of mental health issues secondary to alcohol and drug use while providing trauma informed care. I use techniques from multiple therapeutic approaches: CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, REBT, and faith-based therapy, etc.
I work primarily with teens and adults. The opportunity to work as a therapist is an honor and privilege, therefore, I value the work I do and the people I serve. I sincerely look forward to meeting you and journeying with you on your road to healing and recovery.

I'm a trauma-informed care provider and I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In the first session, we'll discuss what brought you into therapy and explore how to proceed to accomplish your therapeutic goals. With CBT, we'll review life experiences, examine how one's thoughts impact emotions and behaviors. Therapy will aid in cognitive restructuring to help reframe thoughts.
