Change is a natural part of life, but that doesn't always mean it is comfortable. Transitions can include adolescence, moving into adulthood, relocation, the birth of a child, marriage, break-ups, starting a new career, empty nesting, retirement or the loss of a loved one. These events are exciting opportunities to grow, but they can also lead to stress, anxiety, depression, or abuse of drugs or alcohol. Develop the path forward in a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space. Together we can explore ways to achieve a peaceful and fulfilled life. Change can be difficult. A commitment to try something different is the first step.
My approach is supportive and strength-based. I have experience in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, and IOP. I have specialized training in addiction. I understand how drug and alcohol use can affect the entire family, and often the best way to encourage a loved one into treatment is to focus on the non-using family members.
I am a LCSW and a LCADC experienced in working with Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples, and Families. I am a graduate of Vanderbilt University and received an MSW from Monmouth University. Whatever the challenge, I am passionate about helping my clients promote inner strength, build confidence, and achieve life balance.
