For many people it is a big step to begin your search for a professional that can help support you during times of distress.  I am glad that you have taken this step and I hope you find the support that you are looking for. In general, I work with individuals (aged 14 and older), families, and groups.  I provide therapy to individuals that are struggling with a variety of issues such as stress, life transitions, mental health issues, addictions and much more.  I specialize in addiction treatment and support whatever goals individuals set for themselves, either based in abstinence or harm reduction.  I also specialize in working with family members of loved ones with addiction as this issue within a family can create a lot of overwhelming fear, chaos, and stress.
