About
I work specifically with addictive concerns including substance abuse, food addiction, work, relationship dependency and with the family and loved ones of those struggling with addiction.
As a holistically trained counselor I share mind, body, emotions & spirit methods (if that's of interest) to manage anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. I also work with healing trauma, as most that have addictive concerns have some difficult situations or people that have happened. This may sound like heavy work and it can be, but there is laughter along the way.
I have a Masters in Psychology with a Holistic Specialization, CDAC I (Addiction Counselor). I worked in and out-patient treatment programs before going into private practice.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I like to build connection by talking about why they're coming in, perhaps do a brief assessment if there is anxiety or depression and focus on what is their main challenge. I always like the client to leave that first day with something to think about or focus on - an article to read, a prayer to use, and of course, a sense of hope.
I utilize a number of practices such as Mindfulness, Conscious Breathing (for anxiety), EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique for anxiety, depression and trauma memories.
