My Approach to Helping

I believe that addiction and other mental health syndromes are best approached and treated like physical diseases: with respect, understanding, acceptance, compassion, and competent care. I believe persons experiencing these maladies are wonderful, gifted, moral and able people who seek meaning and purpose in life.
