Want to break free of compulsive behaviors or your obsession with sex, drugs, food, abusive relationships? Or are you worried & obsessing over a family member who has these issues?

Need to change a chaotic existence that is ruled by outside forces?

Don't know where to turn for help?

I am here for you. I am here to listen without judgment and share experiences when appropriate and will offer you some concrete ideas for resolving these issues. Move beyond this vicious cycle you feel stuck in right now and reach out for the lifeline of recovery.

About me: I'm an experienced substance abuse & relationship addictions counselor, a writer, a blogger, a feminist, a business woman, an activist and a volunteer mentor.

I have a Bachelor's degree in the social sciences, completed coursework toward a post-grad degree in counseling and I am certification-eligible in my state.

I am extremely well - versed in working the twelve steps of AA, NA, SAA, Alanon & Naranon. But if you've tried the steps and failed I have experience with other treatment modalities as well. I can help you decide where to begin when it comes to finding a program of recovery and/or inpatient rehab.

I am extremely understanding, compassionate, intuitive & knowledgeable and I've successfully helped & guided countless clients & mentees toward more fulfilling lives that are in tune with their true natures & desires.

Call for a telephone counseling session & let me help you with goal setting, values clarification, prioritizing, letting go of the past, or overcoming trauma. We can set up a detailed action plan or I can simply serve as a sounding board & a listening ear to help you get through the bumps in the road you may currently be experiencing.

I welcome both phone & email counseling sessions.

Email counseling questions will be answered at a rate of five dollars or more per reply.
