I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Master's Level Addiction Professional and have been in practice in Miami for over 25 years. I was the Clinical Supervisor at South Miami Hospital's Addiction Treatment and Recovery Center having previously served as Supervisor of their Family Program.

I have helped individuals, couples and families of diverse backgrounds and ages with a wide range of challenges.  I enjoy the combination of teaching with my clinical practice.  I have taught at various facilities and universities and until recently taught the Substance Abuse course to graduate students at the University of Miami. I enjoy speaking and presenting and have also appeared on numerous radio and television shows.

I have also developed a website which I hope is helpful in providing answers and resources.  SubstanceAbuse Answers.com
