I am a Mental Health and Substance Use Therapist. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor in practice for 16 years. I am also an attorney familiar with all matters related to pending court cases. My specialties are mental health problems and substance use/addictions. I serve teens, all age adults and couples. I am very person-centered, strength based, and believe in every client’s ability to find their strength and resilience to lead a happier life. I use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy. I believe that every person should have access to therapy and I offer sliding scale/reduced fees to those without insurance or sufficient insurance. I am affirming and welcoming to my LGBTQ + clients.
