Who We Are
Our Practice

Our PRACTICE
Addiction Treatment
I focus on individuals, couples and families dealing with addiction and trauma. I have advanced training and certification as a Sex Addiction Therapist and Supervisor. I am deeply commited to supporting the healing and growth of individuals and families that are struggling with addiction with the most effective treatment options.
I integrate evidenced based treatment models with a spiritually/faith based understanding of change and growth. Helping stabilize the immediate crisis becomes a priority in order to establish recovery and healing. Treatment goals related to addiction/trauma that limit the emotional, spiritual, physical and relational well being are established first.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. EMDR, DBT.
Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.
