As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. – Carl Gustav Jung

 Sometimes the challenges of life can be too difficult to face alone. With the help of a caring, nurturing, non-judgmental advocate, I can help you face these challenges with integrity, dignity and courage. 

 “Man is surrounded by flowers, but there are times in life when their appearance is obscured” As an addiction specialist, I can help you find relief from the destructive forces of substance and alcohol abuse. Through this process, the darkness begins to fade, the light starts to return and a process of transformation is activated. As a specialized sobriety coach, I will be your advocate and co-creator on this new path of healing and recovery. 

 Substance and alcohol abuse has a profound effect on the entire family and as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I possess special training in family systems. The focus is on identifying damaging communication patterns and providing tools to repair them. This provides the family unit a chance to find solace, healing and transformation. 

 Part coach, therapist and educator, the work I provide is uniquely dynamic and interactive. My therapeutic approach integrates creativity, solution-focused principles and reality-based interventions to get you moving in the direction you really want to be going. 

 Other areas include the healing of broken marriages, grief of loss and life-cycle changes.
