There is a growing epidemic of addiction that is affecting more people every year. Having the support of a licensed, certified and ethical therapist can help alleviate the stresses and worries that cause families to break apart. There is no reason to do this alone. I have been working as a substance abuse counselor since 2009, and a marriage family therapist since 2015, with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Family Counseling. I have worked in various substance abuse treatment centers with addiction and co-occurring disorders. I have extensive experience in intensive relapse prevention dynamics, creating and implementing treatment plans surrounding both the individual and the family. I am currently LMFT, #105045, certified LAADC #LR02551116, and I am a current board member of CCAPP. I strongly believe in maintaining the highest ethical standards. I am efficient in all therapeutic modalities, and have mental health disorders experience, including trauma. I have a true compassion for helping those struggling with mental health addiction. I believe I can help you begin your new journey.
