Today you are one step closer to a new you - empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Many therapists provide a long list of symptoms they believe they are qualified to treat. Frankly, I'm not all that interested in symptoms: I want to help you understand the life strategies you have that are working and the ones that aren't, so you stop behaving in the same ways and expecting different results.
Using many proven recovery skills and tools, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. Your life can and should be an amazing adventure. Let's get you back to the joy you've lost. I would love to help you grow into your potential - emotionally, functionally, relationally. Explore some of the most common questions and answers about alcohol and drug addiction counseling.

My dad was an alcoholic who quit drinking when I was six.
He was a good man who loved me and provided for his family, but he never really got "sober."
I began drinking in my early 20's and found the precious gift of recovery 18 years later.

What Therapy is: Over one hundred years ago, Sigmund Freud, in an attempt to understand the emotional suffering of his patients, introduced psychotherapy to the world.
It was based on the premise that relationally, our body of knowledge is like an iceberg.
We operate with about 10% of our conscious experience - what's above the water - while the 90% below the water is subconscious and unseen.
