Addiction is an insidious disease, one that takes over a person's life like a toxic friend, leading one to believe relief will be at the next turn, only to find misery and heartache. It controls a person's thought-life, holds the soul hostage, destroys the ability to feel simple emotions, and obliterates families. It can be difficult to reach out due to the shame that has permeated one's beliefs about themselves, and finding someone who understands the depth of this pain and shame can be daunting. But there is HOPE.

"Your most vital strengths are not visible to the naked eye. They are sometimes stumbled upon in your darkest moments."- Angela Jones, LCPC

"Today is the day to reach out and tomorrow is the day to feel better." If you're anything like me, then you know that half the battle is reaching out to "[Fill In The Blank]" in order for you to start feeling better about whatever the situation might be. You might fill in the blank with the Dentist, a friend with whom you had a falling out, a family member you forgot to say happy birthday to, etc. I'm the same way in so many situations but once I've made that appointment, talked to the friend, made it to the gym, etc... I feel so much better! I hope that today's the day you say... "I'm reaching out to better my self... for me!"

As a therapist, I am here to guide you in the healing process. Life is full of stressors, and many times it becomes overwhelming and unmanageable.

I believe that everyone has their own answers locked inside. I am simply here to help you learn about yourself and unlock your unique path. By working together, we can discover which obstacles are standing in your way and create a plan to overcome them.
