Hi, and thanks for visiting my profile. My role as your counselor is to work with you and help navigate through the issues of life, such as anxieties, depression, addictions, adjustments, relationships, and other problems by using the strengths that you already possess necessary for self-empowerment, growth, and success. "It is not always how you begin, but how you end". Life is about choices, and choices are a part of life; therefore, choosing who you talk to about issues and concerns, does make a difference. I can provide ASAM assessments for addiction treatment placement, as well, as evidence-based therapy. I have worked in mental health, criminal justice re-entry, sex offenders treatment, adolescents, outpatient substance use, and the social service field for the last 11 years. It is a joy and a privilege to assist people that take the initiative to seek personal growth and emotional awareness.
