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

My Approach to Helping

I believe that in order to necessitate change that the therapeutic process should be one where we CHAT (Create Healthy Alternatives Together). As a person who once struggled with addiction and many related human issues I have an understanding of those struggles and of the resources that effect positive results.
