Therapist Overview
If you are struggling with addiction or substance abuse, I can help. I understand how painful addiction is, and more importantly, I know that sobriety and recovery are the best routes to a better life. Being present in your life, no matter the circumstances, is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to the people you love. Addiction is an insidious and lonely disease, but you can get and stay sober. You can live the life you envision. Recovery calls for commitment and it requires support. You can live free of addiction, and you can live in peace. I also have extensive experience with adolescents, as a counselor and as a high school English teacher. I am well versed in the developmental phases and difficulties, and I consider it a privilege to help teens navigate common challenges: school and social issues, family conflicts, and substance abuse.
