I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents as a teacher in a correctional facility, teaching substance abuse classes, anger management and PTSD issues.
I understand the reluctance many clients may feel when dealing with personal issues and relationships in a therapuetic session. I want my client/s to experience comfort and relief by presenting understanding, practical tools and information they can take with them even during the first session. I teach communication approaches that improve relationships between couples, children and blended families.

As the owner and founder of Foundation For Hope Counseling, I am passionate about assisting in the rehabilitation of individuals and families affected by Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. I believe every person that has/had problems in this area can overcome. It simply takes someone who can show compassion and empathy, but speak the truth in love, to help. The consistency it takes to walk the individual or family through these times, is what I take pride in doing. If this sounds like you, you are not alone and there is a way out, there is help. There is an abundant life beyond what you can see, let's uncover it together.

I'm so glad to meet you on this therapeutic journey! My desire as a therapist is to meet people where they are in their own process of exploration and healing. That said, the most successful clients are ready to open themselves up to the chance that change is possible. I entered the mental health field to provide the kind of support and care that I would want my own family members to receive if they were experiencing an emotional or psychological crisis. I have been on both sides of the mental health system and know the barriers that can occur in finding quality and compassionate mental health care.

I have experience treating a wide variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, complex trauma resulting from childhood abuse, substance abuse, poor self esteem, people pleasing, career/life transitions, grief, blended family issues, co-parenting and more.
Life can get pretty overwhelming at times. And, with all of the personal and professional demands on our time and emotional energy, maintaining balance, healthy habits, and a positive attitude can become increasingly more difficult over time. Managing constant pressure, stress or worry can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health, contributing to poor sleep, fatigue, increased irritability, and poor decision making. If you want to restore balance in your life, experience more joy and inner peace, or improve your relationship with self and others, you are in the right place.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
