Therapy Focus
For over 25 years, I've have been dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the challenges of addiction and behavioral health. Our experience includes working with adults and adolescents struggling with substance use disorders, compulsive gambling, and the many emotional, relational, and life challenges that often accompany addiction.We believe recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process. Every individual comes to treatment with a unique history, personal strengths, challenges, and goals.
My approach is centered around individualized care that meets each client and their family where they are at, while helping them build the skills needed for lasting change.Through evidence-based counseling approaches and a client-centered philosophy, we work collaboratively with each person to identify strategies that are effective and meaningful for their specific needs. We recognize that successful recovery requires more than simply stopping a behavior—it involves healing, personal growth, rebuilding relationships, developing healthy coping skills, and creating a sustainable path forward.
Our goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate, and respectful environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their recovery journey. We are committed to walking alongside individuals and families as they work toward hope, healing, and a healthier future.
My Story
Years ago, I experienced a loss that forever changed my life when my husband passed away from an overdose. That tragedy brought me face-to-face with the devastating impact addiction has—not only on the person struggling, but on every family member who loves them. I know what it feels like to search for answers, wrestle with grief, and wonder if healing is possible.
While I would never choose that experience, it strengthened my commitment to helping others discover that recovery and healing are real. My personal journey, combined with over two decades of professional experience, allows me to meet clients with genuine compassion, understanding, and hope. Whether you're battling substance use, compulsive gambling, grief, anxiety, or the emotional weight of supporting someone you love, you don't have to face it alone.
Today, I am proud to co-own one of the nation's leading treatment facilities specializing in compulsive gambling addiction. Through this work, I've had the privilege of helping countless individuals and families rebuild their lives by addressing not only addictive behaviors but also the emotional pain, trauma, and thought patterns that often fuel them.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, evidence-based treatment, and the belief that every person has the capacity to grow beyond their circumstances. I strive to create a space where you feel heard without judgment, challenged with compassion, and supported as you move toward lasting change.
Healing doesn't mean your story is erased—it means your story can become the foundation for a new beginning. If you're ready to take that next step, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
