About

I have over 16 years of experience working in substance-use prevention, differing levels of clinical care, and recovery. My counselor identity integrates the professional values, attitudes, and behaviors proffered by the counseling community, academic/ training, and board standards. My theoretical approach is grounded in principles of clear ethics, congruence, and empathy conveyed through unconditional positive regard. An important goal of my transparent approach is to provide a reflective process that helps individuals broaden and deepen their understanding of their world.
