Life has many ups and downs... and sometimes we need assistance or guidance to aid us through. Are you going through a down period, or feeling "unbalanced"?... Or maybe you are just looking to add some light.... Our team of experts can help you release unwanted energy. We can help you let go of stress and feel harmony. Let's talk...

Assistance in life is often needed and desired but seldom sought. There is a place of hope for the heart and a person who wants to find their way. When we get out of our way, we find freedom from suffering and begin to embrace the change, transition, and transformation to a new reality of life. The new life is freedom from the silent conversation from within, seeking relief sometimes from self and dealing with the burdens of life.

My preferred method of treatment includes providing patients and their families the opportunity to gain awareness in the area of addiction and dual diagnosis treatment. Patients are involved in treatment modalities that include individual, group and family counseling. However, my services are also available to the loved one of addicted patients. Many family members are not provided with the opportunity for treatment, how addiction and mental disorders has had effected them. I give families and spouses the opportunity to learn about themselves and what they may need to change through treatment and support programs outside of treatment.

I believe therapy can improve quality of life and promote healing through exploration, acceptance and engagement. While at times it can be overwhelming, Life is full of positive and negative moments and after that, comes the rest of life. How these moments are perceived, directly impacts the way one manages and navigates them. This practice is here to help you get through when life happens.
