Addiction is my specialty but, I have over 25 years of experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma, abuse, and anger management. I also have experience working with PTSD, depression and relationship issues.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I have been clean and sober for over 34 years. I am a recovering alcoholic, addict and IV-intravenous drug user. I dropped out of college because of pain pills, marijuana and alcohol abuse. I lost football and baseball scholarships because of addiction. My addiction progressed to IV-intravenous narcotic use. I woke up from a 3-day blackout/overdose in an addiction treatment center that saved my life. I was 25 years old at the time. I also suffered with Depression, PTSD and Anxiety. With help, I have been able to live a very happy and productive life. I want to help others to live happy, joyous and free.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
