I take an individualized approach to addictions counseling for each client so they can get onto and stay on the road of recovery. I have extensive experience working with adults and adolescents with substance abuse and addiction issues in residential and out-patient settings. I am board-certified by the State of WV as an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and am also a Certified Criminal Justice Professional with vast experience working with individuals with substance abuse issues who are involved in the court systems. I am a proponent of motivational interviewing, a person-centered approach, emphasizing the Stages of Change model, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and solution-focused therapies for addiction treatment. I also offer supervision for other therapists wishing to become credentialed as an ADC.
