As a licensed chemical dependency counselor (LCDC), I assist people in recovery from addiction including substance abuse and problem behaviors. I offer a full drug assessment (FDA) for $295, which consists of inital screening, interview and written report that can be provided to courts or other third parties if required.  This assessment looks at relevant factors in determining risk of addiction and appropriate treatment/services if needed.

When in doubt whether you or a loved one struggles with substance abuse, be proactive in getting knowledge, support and help.  Recovery is possible!

While most therapists choose their areas of focus, this area chose me.  I am the proud father of a son on the autism spectrum whose mission is to help others in our tribe.  I am aware of the challenges families face although each journey, like each individual with autism, is unique.  I believe those on the spectrum are not puzzles to be solved but people who deserve to be understood, with the ability to overcome challenges they experience.  No matter where you find yourself on your journey with autism, I am here to help you make progress toward the future you envision!

Societies are becoming more diverse resulting in increasing number of individuals with multiracial and cultural backgrounds.  Being one of these people myself, I am sensitve to the strengths and challenges that brings.  Adolescents especially struggle with self-identity in finding a place in the world.  I am passionate about helping them explore their past and present to move toward a more confident future.
