I have 30+ years working with clients and families struggling with mental health and substance abuse. In addition to being the clinical director for Adolescent Advocates, a IOP and OP treatment center for adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use, I have worked extensively with clients and families who are struggling with issues such as mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, dis-regulation, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. I also work with adults seeking treatment for substance use disorders. I help clients and their families develop healthy relationships, become more empowered, and overcome adversity. I help clients build a sense of meaning and purpose using Positive Psychology. It is important that my clients become active participants in their treatment. To encourage this engagement, I utilize Motivational Interviewing into my treatment. I also incorporate CBT and DBT into treatment to help clients overcome negative emotions and behaviors. Please feel free to reach out to me with anyone questions. I am excited to work together to help you achieve your goals and aspirations.
