We sometimes wish our lives were different but are struggling in the process. We may be unclear of where to turn or what direction to take. I can help you feel better about yourself in the present, the only time we really have, while in process of determining what issues need to be addressed and how to address them.
I frequently use and teach mindfulness based skills. I can help you to have a conversation with fearful future unknowns, or past ghosts reducing their power over you. I actively participate in each session providing skills, insight and direction. I can help you to feel better about who you are today while helping you begin to make positive changes.

We damage our health suffering from, high blood pressure, damage to our hearts and vessels and countless other known health hazards of anger.
I have spent many years working with those suffering with addictions and substance abuse. I can stand as a guide in the uncharted waters of sobriety, or of dealing with life without drugs or alcohol. Using the stages of change model you can begin to let go of whatever is your addiction and build a foundation where you have the tools to stay addiction free.
