Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I believe that each of us has an innate ability to move toward our individual full potential. However, many factors such as past experiences, fear and a desire to remain in the familiar, often keep us from doing so. Often an addiction or self destructive behavior is a part of this struggle. If you find that you are feeling "stuck" or know what you need or would like to do but cannot seem to do it, I can help. Addictions affect the whole family. However, family members are often so worried about their family member they can feel held hostage by the very person they love and care about. If you feel this way, I can help you learn tools to take back your life and avoid helping that person maintain their behavior. I specialize in helping individuals and couples move out of "stuck places." As a Registered Addiction Specialist, I help family members reclaim their power and set limits with an addicted or otherwise out of control family member. I help persons in recovery learn more about themselves and how to manage or resolve difficult situations without resorting to using again.
