I work with clients from all walks of life who may be struggling with drug addiction, life transitions, self-confidence and other issues that affect your well-being. During our initial session, we will collaborate to create a plan designed to get your life back on track. My approach to helping others is very practical and casual.
I have over 20-years of experience helping adults overcome drug addiction. I'm a certified addiction professional in Virginia, a certified life coach, and a certified career coach. We provide counseling, coaching, and training designed to help you gain a positive attitude, increase self-confidence, and attain your goals.
Life is filled with swift transitions that often catch us by surprise. Surprises like job loss, homelessness, divorce, death of loved ones, health issues and bankruptcy, etc. Believe it or not, you can still live your dreams. At Inner Zones our motto is “actualize your vision anyway!” Call me and let's begin your journey toward a meaningful life.
