We all deserve the chance to live a complete, healthy and joy-filled life. The first step to realizing your full potential is deciding to take action.
I enjoy helping people who long to feel alive, connected, peaceful and passionate. Often we fear we cannot live without the misuse of alcohol, drugs, painful relationships, gambling, pornography, sex, anger, work or status.
I have always believed that compulsive or addictive behaviors have served as a way for people to regulate their moods, their neurochemistry, and to cope with anxiety and fears. In other words, to change the way they feel. Certain behaviors work, and they work quickly and well for a while. Then they require more and more and or/more and more novelty to regulate as the system adapts to the substance or behavior.
“Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.” – Rumi
I can support you and loved ones in letting go of or moderating these very powerful and probably once seemingly necessary behaviors. We can work together to build new authentic and loving relationships with self and others. I believe in healing on a cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual level.
Most of us have been taught to look outwardly on what needs to be changed in the world or in other people. I believe that transformation of ourselves is the single most important work we can do to change the world. As we develop and practice love, tolerance and compassion, we are part of that shift towards freedom, peace, serenity and joy.

People can and do change! The problem becomes more difficult when someone has been practicing certain beliefs and behaviors over a long period of time.
If you choose to change, I can offer hope and a helping hand to find a new pathway.
People make changes in similar and in very unique ways, and it is important to use evidence-based methods that work and to individualize each person’s healing plans.
