ADHD doesn’t just disappear when you turn eighteen. For most adults it lingers and can cause a lot of disfunction in your day to day functioning. Constantly being late, missing deadlines, job losses, poor relationships and being impulsive are some of the symptoms that can derail your life. Behavior modification and in some cases medication can help get you to the point where these symptoms can be managed. There is a lot of misinformation out there about adult ADHD, so I highly recommend using www.additiude.com as a trusted resource for getting your information. 

As an MS Partner in Care, I am interested in helping individuals and their loved ones deal with newly diagnosed autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis. New illnesses can often be life changing, and very scary realities to embrace.

I will meet you where you are: If you are grieving your old self, we can do this together. We can face the fear and uncertainty that comes with this disease. But in time we will move toward a place where there is once again hope and you can strive toward living your best life. I do offer online counseling as an option to those who may not be able to physically come into the office.

I have seen many clients hopeless and overwhelmed because of the loss of finances, relationships, and housing due to addiction. I have also seen many clients turn their lives around, find hope, and live sober, happier lives. My passion is working with individuals and their families struggling with addiction. If you are ready to make changes in your life and start reengaging and living in the present, then please get in touch. Even if you aren’t ready, we can work together to see what can help you get closer to wanting change.  

I’ve been working in the substance abuse and addiction field for almost 6 years, and every day I am impressed with the strength I see in my clients. The road to recovery and sobriety is a journey, one that will test your every resolve. But you will have me by your side, helping you navigate the challenges. I have created a safe space for you to come and talk. You are an individual with a unique story, so I tailor my approach to suit you. Together we will work on finding ways to rebuild a life you don’t feel the need to escape from. 

There is hope. You do not have to struggle alone! Whether you feel that you occasionally abuse drugs and/or alcohol, or have crossed over into addiction, you can make the changes necessary to rebuild your life. It starts with acceptance. Acceptance that you need help, that you can’t continue the way you have been.

I provide psychotherapy for those using Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT).  MAT  is FDA approved medication used to treat addiction, such as Methadone, Naltrexone or Buprenorphine. Part of the MAT program requires that the client receive psychotherapy or counseling on a monthly basis, so that the entire individual is being treated. The number of therapy hours vary based on the medication you are receiving.  Please note that your medication will need to be administered through a qualified physician. 

Substance abuse rarely occurs in a vacuum. Many individuals may have a co-occurring condition, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD or PTSD, to name a few.  Often individuals use the substance to cope, mask their pain or to escape from the discomfort felt from the co-occurring conditions.

I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), which requires a Masters degree and 2000 hours working in the addiction field.
