After spending over a decade as a Clinical Instructor with the MUSC Center for Drug & Alcohol Programs, I retired to focus full-time on my private practice. I believe in combining the most successful models of substance abuse treatment along with general psychotherapy, while remaining flexible and open-minded to the needs of each individual client.

It is my mission is to build the self-esteem and confidence in each person that walks through my door, so they can see that change is possible when it comes to living a life in Recovery. If appropriate, I can also work with the family members of addicts and alcoholics.

I have been told my greatest strength is that I truly care about and respect the addicted individual. It was through my own journey in Recovery, that I learned the joy of helping others. This enables me to keep it real and have a deeper understanding of what the client is going through in their struggles.

In addition to substance abuse, my specialties include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anxiety Management, Anger Management, Bereavement, Codependency, Depression, Relationship Issues, Spirituality & Certified Trauma-focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
