About me
I am an experienced addiction specialist dedicated to working with individuals and families to overcome and learn to develop healthy coping and living skills and bring families together and help build the person's life back to a healthy state.
I have been in private practice for about 20 years now and have built a group practice to continue to dedicate our hearts to the person and the families who are battling addiction and alcoholism. Knowing that it is an insidious disease and knowing there is hope to achieve recovery and to be better. We have individual therapy and we also have a doctor on staff who is highly qualified in addiction medicine. We have qualified therapists on staff from various backgrounds and we will help you through your process you are not alone.
