We begin by building a therapeutic alliance in order to foster change. My expertise is in treating anxiety, ADHD and substance use disorders. I take a non-shaming approach, which is especially key for anyone with a history of trauma. I treat substance use, addiction, and risky behaviors utilizing an integrative harm reduction framework. Abstinence is not a requirement, nor does it have to be a goal. My license is in mental health counseling, I am an internationally credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. I provide coaching for individuals dealing with ADHD. I utilize CBT and DBT blending mindfulness, motivational interviewing and urge surfing.
