I believe in the counseling process! I have found two things to be essential to effective therapy. The first & most important is that you are willing to do the work. The second is that you are comfortable with who you are working with. Reaching out & asking for help is difficult and takes courage. I respect that effort. If I am not the counselor for you, I will do everything I can to help you find a match. If you are ready to do the necessary work, I would be honored to share your journey.
In the field of addictions I have worked in the capacity of Counselor, Supervisor, Program Director, and Consultant. I utilize individual, couple, family, and groups to reach identified goals.
I am trained to do EMDR therapy which is a successful treatment for a wide scope of issues.
