You are currently deadlocked with past irresolution, self doubt, addiction or something desperately hurting forward progress. You want fulfilling life and have not completely given up hope. You are willing to accept responsibility, work to heal; you are ready for change. You understand life will not magically change for the better; therefore there's no other way but up- so whenever you call, it's a new beginning . I am priviledged to participate with thousands, from Hollywood personalities, judges, doctors, to scientists and preachers in shedding that old safe cocoon of misery and fly like butterflies to lives they never dreamed possible. Philippians 4:13

Milford, DE 19963
My philosophy and the way of treating patients is to let them know from the beginning that I am just another person in the world, just like they are. Nothing makes me invincible to any mental health disorder (anxiety, depression, OCD, etc.) When we start talking about treatment plans and medications are involved versus going all natural treatment (which I have resources to share with others for this as well). Either way, the patient ultimately chooses their treatment plans and goals with me. My slogan for my business and has been for my life for a very long time is this: "No one is PERFECT; however we are ALL perfectly imperfect!"
