Are drugs or alcohol a problem? I help people with substance use issues begin to live better lives. If you are overwhelmed by alcohol or drug use, including opioid addiction or marijuana overuse, and it is creating problems for you in your life, I can help you begin to address these problems and find a way out of the pain and despair. I will provide you with a safe environment, free from judgment, to deal with your substance use issues. I can help, whether you want to quit completely or cut down and control your drinking or using. For some people, moderation is a better fit for their goals. If you are already in recovery, I will respect and support your efforts as you participate in therapy. I am deeply familiar with the 12-Step model.

Formerly a therapist at Kaiser Permanente Addiction Medicine and Recovery Services (previously CDRP), I have extensive experience in the field of substance use. I utilize different models of treatment to address drug and alcohol issues. I honor the way therapy and recovery dovetail to support you in your change and growth. I have years of experience working with women  in  recovery, helping them navigate life on life's terms.
