I am a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor, specializing in helping people recover who are struggling with the disease of addiction . My focus is to help you achieve total abstinence from all mind/mood altering substances and enjoy a more peaceful and productive life. Those who view themselves as a “functional addict/alcoholic” might ask “functioning at what level?” Would my life be better without using alcohol and drugs? Addiction affects every area of our life, undermining our personal and professional relationships, hopes and dreams. The only shame in addiction is not seeking help, knowing it's available.
