Great to meet you!

I help adults and couples facing addiction, relationship conflict, and behavioral health challenges. As an LPC and LCDC, I bring more than thirty-five years of addiction treatment experience and twenty years as a professional counselor. My approach is compassionate, direct, and practical, using evidence-based therapy to help clients build insight, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. My background includes outpatient, inpatient, detox, and college teaching. I also authored two books on recovery and honest communication.

My approach to therapy

You'll find a safe, respectful space where you're heard without judgment. Together we'll identify practical solutions, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build lasting strategies for change. My goal is for every client to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're struggling with addiction, relationship conflict, or a difficult transition, meaningful change is possible. I offer compassionate, experienced guidance and practical tools to help you move forward at your own pace. When you're ready, I'm here to help.
