My ideal client is anybody that walks through the door and asks for help. Their issues, needs, and goals are all unique and require that I be open to their worldview in order to help them. In a client-centered world, they tell me what they want and why. It is my job to do my best to meet them where they are and walk their journey with them to where they want to go.
I specialize in addiction counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also use reality therapy, motivational interviewing, and humanistic therapy. I am a strong believer in psychopharmacology and medication-assisted treatment for addictions.
If anything that you read about me above appeals to you, feel free to reach out to me. I have over 26 years of experience with helping people from all walks of life. If I can't help you, I will help you find a person who can.
