BIO

My job as a counselor is to help you, the client. I only ask my clients to be honest and be open to trying new things to help them grow and break the cycle of addiction. As I tell clients regularly, if they want to be substance-free, the most important step is to be honest with themselves. Clients who want a sober life and are willing to work towards those goals are my ideal clients. I am here to help you break the cycle of addiction that you find yourself in and want to get out of. 

​

After working as a high school math teacher for over 30 years, I made the switch to helping individuals with substance use issues. I have now been working in the field of addiction for over four years. I use CBT, DBT, MI and ME. I work with my clients, giving them tools to use on their journey to become the person they have always wanted to be. I will work with clients if they have co-occurring disorders. I will work with clients to understand that substance use disorder is a disease that can be treated.

​

Even if you are not sure you have a substance use issue, call for an initial consultation. You will always be in a safe environment when we meet. My job is to help you where you are and to help you get to where you want to be. It is not to judge you in any way. I look forward to working with you.
