About

If you've made it this far and you're reading this, you must be a Warrior. Really. Having Substance Use Disorder (SUD), or loving someone who has SUD, is not for the weak at heart. I liken it's reach to a tornado, an EF5 tornado actually. But here's the thing; You and I working together - we are to SUD what FEMA is to a tornado. Together, we can pick up the wreckage, organize it, decide what parts you want to keep, which ones you want to fix, and where to start fresh. You are not alone. In fact, 1 in 3 American families are struggling with SUD in the home. 22 Million Americans are in long-term recovery. All of them needed help too.

I have over 25 years experience in the addictions field & have worked within the entire continuum of care - prevention/intervention/harm reduction/treatment/recovery. I specialize in trauma-aware individual, family, & group counseling for those who struggle with addiction & for their loved ones. I competently welcome people in ALL recovery pathways.

I'm often moved to tears when I witness someone reach out for help in the midst of the tornado I mentioned above. It's about the most unnatural thing to do in our culture - to ask for help in this way. For people like me though, it's truly an honor to walk alongside and help people like you. I'll be here, when you're ready.
