Does taking a break mean locking yourself in the house after a long day/week just to binge-watch Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or scroll Facebook, Instagram or TikTok? Do social situations leave you feeling “on-guard” or “out of place”? Feeling disconnected from friends, family, co-workers or even yourself? Pain (emotional, physical or psychological) is the one constant you count on each and every day. Your past continues to trigger sadness or anger, or you may not remember it at all. We help answer the questions "Where do I want to go in life?" - "Who do I want to go there with?"

I strive to help you live a better more integrated, healthier lifestyle with unleashed potential.

Whatever place you are in, I work to create a safe space in which you can explore, learn, grow and heal.

Now is not the time to put your addiction recovery on hold. It is time to take hold of your recovery. The pain you feel regarding drug or alcohol addiction is excruciating.

Not a day goes by that you think about quitting or think about how to help your loved one quit.

Is trauma that has occurred in the remote or recent past affecting you? Are you experiencing flashbacks or other disturbing thoughts you wish could be managed more effectively?

This innovative approach to healing helps you learn how to dip down into a relaxed state and heal yourself from inside.
