You’ve been struggling with addiction, difficulty with relationships, or lack of motivation? You know you need to make important changes, and now is the time, before things get worse. 12 step or other supports not working? Been there, done that! I've got your back. We'll work together to get through the pain and create the life you'll be proud of. I've got solutions. Not years of couch therapy. We nail the problems and start taking action. You'll feel different. We serve Barrie, Orillia, Midland, Coldwater, & online. How about a free, non judgemental, 15 minute chat? Ready?
I specialize in creating a safe supportive environment so you can share what's troubling you. We'll review an array of tools and help you select the ones that are right for you. Together we'll identify areas where you can make the important changes and move forward in your relationships, career, health, and spiritual life.
It's difficult to lead on a path we haven't walked. I've navigated a 40+ year marriage, raised two children, had an Immensely rewarding career, all while balancing addiction recovery, parenting, relationships, volunteer work, and challenges with PTSD, fear, and depression. Lets talk about how my experience can help you achieve your best life.
