As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Addictions Counselor, I am passionate and dedicated to helping individuals, families and communities that are struggling to recover from alcohol and other drugs. I also work diligently to assist individuals and families with addressing related issues in social, emotional, occupational, and mental health functioning. I will work with you to move forward in life and achieve your goal of being free of active addiction regardless of the past factors that have negatively impacted your life. I specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders for individuals, families, and groups. As part of my practice, I work closely with special populations which includes mandated and re-entry individuals. I employ a long-term, multi-modal approach that is continually adapted to meet a client's ever-changing needs. Addiction is a unique disease that affects the individual biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Therefore, treatment requires a specific plan of action for each client based upon his or her unique situation. I have 20 yrs of experience working with recovering individuals and their families. I believe that all individuals can recover.
