Addiction counseling is not just one of the many things I do.

It is my specialty. Treating alcohol and other drug misuse, along with problems it causes – family problems, job problems, financial problems, legal problems, spiritual problems – has been the sole focus of my counseling practice for over 35 years.

Substance Abuse

Alcohol Misuse

Family Member Conflict

DOT Evaluations

Addiction

Telehealth &
In-Person Counseling

Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I converted to online counseling (Telehealth) and it continues to be a large part of my practice.

I do telehealth sessions through a HIPAA-secure platform that protects your confidentiality.  Telehealth sessions require a good internet connection and some basic computer skills.  Meeting online offers convenience and increased flexibility in scheduling.

Through an online client portal, I also offer secure communication, submission of forms and assignments, and payment for services.

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit and our schedules match. Please call and I will return your call promptly
