I began my career working at a substance abuse treatment facility and have since expanded my practice and expertise. I enjoy working with individuals at all phases of the recovery process, from early treatment through long-term maintenance sobriety. I especially enjoy working with people on stage two recovery issues, such as learning how to integrate 12 step principles into their relationships with others and everyday life. Many of my clients are people in recovery who have dual-diagnosis issues who need additional help beyond the twelve steps or who seek to deepen their understanding of themselves.

In addition to addiction and recovery work, I also specialize in helping families facing conflict and difficulty managing transitions through the family life cycle. My years of experience working with troubled adolescents has made me uniquely well-equipped to handle even the most high conflict families.

Each phase of life brings a unique set of challenges. From premarital counseling and newlywed adjustments to child-rearing and the eventual empty nest syndrome, families can often use the support and guidance of a family therapist who knows how to help weather the storm.
