Take the first step toward healing and balance today.

My clinical work focuses on client-centered counseling in areas such as substance abuse disorders, trauma, life transitions, family dynamics, and relationship challenges. With over 25 years of clinical experience in both private practice and treatment settings, I work with individuals and families to help them find sustainable solutions and create meaningful change.

I integrate mindfulness techniques and emphasize focusing on the individual or family member and create tailored solutions for each unique situation. The approach is collaborative, compassionate, and supportive, with the goal of helping you become the best version of yourself based on your specific circumstances, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life.

Family & Relational Therapy

Family and relational therapy focuses on addressing issues that impact the psychological well-being of the family, such as major life transitions, mental health challenges, or addiction. It fosters understanding and cooperation, helping families identify root causes and develop healthier behaviors to support one another.

Substance Abuse Therapy

Addiction, or a dependence on a particular substance or activity, is a complex mental health issue. Therapy can be helpful for those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, using approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), mindfulness, family therapy, and relapse prevention.
