About

Do you simply want to live your best life and are prepared to put in the effort to figure out how to get there? Well, let me help! Make that first step. I am a genuine and dedicated therapist with a doctorate (Ph.D.) in addiction psychology. I am also a Licensed Addictions Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor. Substance use disorders and addictions, mood disorders, nutrition and integrative medicine in mental health, LQTBQIA+ challenges, and spiritual counseling are some of my areas of expertise. I have more than 20 years of accomplished counseling, coaching, and supervising therapists. I am passionate about working with clients of all cultures in order to help them heal and grow so that they can live fulfilled and satisfying lives.

I look forward to working with you!
