Your freedom!! That is why I do what I do. I believe we are meant to live lives full of joy, and freedom from depression, fear, addictions and bad relationships. My life has been dedicated to this vision for all people. I am continually humbled by the privilege it is to get to be such a part of the healing and freedom in peoples lives.
I encourage you not to wait. Get the life you have always wanted and deserve! I believe relationships are meant to enrich our lives. I believe that parents can be mentors and a great resource for their children, guiding them through these difficult times. It's all about the relationship.
All of us (including me) need another's point of view and some guidance from time to time. It is the wise person who knows when its time to reach out. There is no need to struggle alone. We all need a safe place to talk about what's happening in our lives. Reach out and give me a call. You can ask any questions you have. You have nothing to lose.
