Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: 'I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.'" ~Groucho Marx. I decided long ago that life is too short to feel miserable or to live in fear. I have since been in recovery for over 10 years! Today, I live my life differently, and, I can tell you, it's worth it. If you're ready to join me on this journey, give me a call.
I counsel individuals, couples, and families, from ages 12 and up. I specialize in substance abuse disorders, codependency, addictions, depression, anxiety, anger, and existential issues. I have experience working at a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center, a Psychiatric Hospital, and I have been in private practice in Abilene since 2016.
