I believe in being non-judgmental and that when you feel comfortable and trusting you can then explore, and often resolve, whatever problems you are facing. I think it is important for you to be mindful of your thoughts and beliefs to better understand patterns in your life. I will encourage you to be MINDFUL of how you respond to others and to your environment as a means of learning about yourself. I believe change happens when we carefully examine our beliefs and behaviors, then decide to do something differently.

Addiction can lead us down a path we thought we would never walk. Sometimes we get lost and need gentle guidance to find our way back to live the life we were meant to live. Like the caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly You too can “ Emerge a New You!.” Addiction can take many forms besides drugs & alcohol, cigarettes & gambling. Sometimes what seems to be an addiction is a habit that needs to be broken. Together we can determine the difference & explore solutions. Additional examples: eating disorders, work, shopping, shoplifting, self mutilation, risky behaviors, video games, relationships, etc. You are NOT alone.
