Background

I am a Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor in the State of Arizona with 20+ years of experience treating not only substance use issues but also a wide range of mental health concerns and co-occurring conditions. I have spent the majority of my career treating adolescents, individual adults, and families for local non-profit organizations. I have also worked in dual diagnosis programs, residential treatment facilities, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric programs treating those with SMI diagnoses. I am also a parent of two teenagers who have taught me much about the practical application of parenting and relationships! ​

Approach.

I work to create a non-judgmental, relaxed, and humorous environment centered on the client-therapist relationship. I offer a collaborative approach in working with individuals and families and can also offer practical solutions. I believe in the importance of helping my clients gain self awareness as an essential strategy for personal growth. I use an empathetic and compassionate approach to support clients in reaching their goals in any stage of change.
