Licensed Addiction Counselor
State-Approved Level 1 Provider
As a Licensed Addiction Counselor, State-Approved Level 1 Provider, and a person in long-term recovery, I understand how addiction can turn life into a painful cycle.
You tell yourself today will be different, but drinking or using leads to more regret, broken promises, and shame. You may feel stuck and keep trying to change on your
own, only to end up in the same place. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or facing legal requirements, you do not have to keep doing this alone.
I help people understand the patterns behind their substance use and build practical recovery skills. I provide all Level 1 services (ACT): Assessment, Course, and Treatment,
including Prime for Life, counseling, and DUI support. I also serve as the counselor for the GGMH Felony DUI Treatment Court and conduct evaluations and screenings.
Recovery is about more than stopping alcohol or drug use. It is about rebuilding trust in yourself and creating a life you no longer need to escape from. I will meet you
where you are and provide a judgment-free space where you can be honest, feel understood, and move forward. When you are ready for something different, reach out.
