I have extensive experience working with most populations across different ages and genders. Despite a career in chemical dependency counseling, I am also competent in working with other mood disorders and patients whose issues are not substance use-related. My ideal pt. is between 18 and 70 years of age, any gender or orientation, with a desire to facilitate change in their life. I seek to meet individuals where they are, recognize their inherent strengths, and collaborate with them to develop realistic, individualized treatment goals. I emphasize personal accountability, self-awareness, resilience, and the development of practical skills that support sustained progress.

I believe that effective counseling begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, respect, and collaboration. I recognize that recovery and personal growth are individualized processes and strive to help each person identify meaningful pathways toward improved mental health, sustained recovery, healthier relationships, and an enhanced quality of life.
