Great to meet you!

I work with individuals facing challenges related to drug and alcohol use. Working as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor for the past 14 plus years has ignited my passion for a deeper involvement in addiction recovery.

I am eager to bring my dedication to this role supporting clients in rebuilding their lives.

My approach to therapy

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice.

I also bring a strong foundation in active listening, and a deeper empathic understanding of the change process. My goal is to foster a non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their struggles and celebrating their successes.

What you can expect from me

During your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy, thereafter we will decide the most appropriate approach to help with making progress.
