About

Are you having difficulties in your personal relationships or other areas of your life? Do you suspect that alcohol or substance use in your life is becoming an addictive behavior? Is sadness, worry, racing thoughts or other matters becoming intrusive in your life? If you are experiencing these or any other concerns, I would like to help you. I can do this using insight oriented psycho-therapy to encourage behaviors designed to replace unproductive actions and beliefs with a useful paradigm for living with peace of mind. I am a results oriented Marriage and Family Therapist. The Doctoral research I have completed situates me to assist you through the use of solution focused interventions designed to change perspectives using an action orientation. Improving one's relationships has been shown to improve one's quality of life and life satisfaction. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and hold a Psy. D. in clinical psychology.

As far as addiction is concerned, my Doctoral research and studies combined with an extensive Addiction counseling experience, have positioned me to blend psychological principles with classical addiction recovery philosophies. These perspectives, when combined are likely to increase a person's chances of a sustained and fruitful sobriety experience.
