Therapist Overview
I am a licensed professional clinical mental health therapist with 17 years of experience in individual/group therapy for substance use, mental health disorders, and HIV/AIDS. I specialize in various and eclectic treatment approaches and modalities with compassionate and empathetic emphasis. For example, I use Cognitive Therapies (SCT, CBT, and DBT), Mindfulness, Exposure, and Motivational Interviewing (MI), while assisting those at various stages. With these approaches & telehealth, I have been able to help individuals and their loved ones recover from the destruction or the negative impact addictions have created in their lives. I am comfortable with any stage one may be in with their recovery – whether still active with drugs or alcohol, early recovery or sobriety, and who have experienced relapse with any time or years of abstinence from drugs or alcohol. I also help those who maintain their abstinence with processing complex and/or mental health issues in the therapy sessions. I am well connected to the recovery and treatment communities which empowers me with the availability to bridge those I assist to other resources of help. When appropriate, I am open with sharing some of my personal experiences with addiction and currently having multiple years of recovery and sobriety. So, let us begin the journey with your first step!
