I specialize in working with families who are experiencing addiction issues, dual diagnosis (mental health and addiction), co-occurring disorders, and other problems that are often experienced within a family. Healthy coping skills are learned, we are not born with them! My background includes adults and adolescents; court ordered treatment, Severally Emotionally Disturbed youth and clients who have been in a residential setting. As a trauma specialist, I work with co-dependency issues, sexual assault, domestic violence, etc. As a marriage and family therapist, I also work extensively with adult children of alcoholics/addicts in the hope of reaching a peace that enables us to have healthy relationships with others. Certifications include conflict resolution, problem sexual behavior, anger management, and I also am certified in marriage and life coaching.
