About My Clients
I find fulfillment in helping others learn to overcome their substance and behavioral addictions. I work with patients to solve the complex problems that lead to addiction—validating their journey along the way and providing unconditional positive regard through their troubles and successes. I believe that addiction is not the problem, therefore, I approach addiction as a maladaptive solution to a problem. I look forward to guiding you through the discovery of healthy solutions to those problems
My Background and Approach
My approach is a holistic focus on healing the full psyche (mind, body, and spirit) through an evolutionary and anthropological view of psychology. I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy coupled with motivational interviewing and trauma informed care to explore the unique experiences that makes each of us human. As a former Licensed Guidance Counselor and Student Assistance Program (SAP) Counselor, I have a strong level of expertise in working with teens and young adults who have addiction. I also specialize in working with individuals with behavioral addictions and affliction (gambling, sex, pornography, work, etc.) My areas of expertise include substance use, behavioral addictions, and the relationship between trauma and addiction.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I currently live in Charlotte, NC where I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, doing yoga, running, cycling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and boxing.
