About Me

My Distinction

I am a Christian

My love for Christ compels me to recognize that each person has infinite worth and value, and I seek to restore hope and freedom for those impacted by addiction and other mental health concerns.

I am Family Oriented

The family is the foundational institution of society ordained by God, and I journey with the whole family because addiction and other co-occurring disorders impact the whole unit.

I Understand Youth

My journey towards addiction counseling and focus on mental health disorders begun with my love for youth, and as a PreK-12 educator, I am committed to the health and well-being for the whole family.

I am Independent

As a private practice independent from any treatment center or health management systems, I focus our attention on meeting your needs and I walk with you until you are ready to walk on your own.
