About
I know how you feel & I'm here to help
Have you noticed your drinking has increased over time? Have you tried to quit, but find yourself drinking after you vowed to quit? Do you spend a great amount of time obtaining alcohol or pain pills? When you quit, do you have cravings? Are you having trouble at work, home, school or with a relationship? Have you been in trouble with the law related to your substance use? Has a doctor or other professional suggested that you quit drinking? If you have answered “yes” to 2 or 3 of any above questions, then you really need to call me.
Years ago, I started my career with many who struggled with addictions. Everyday was a challenge, and I knew they needed an understanding. Many struggled in relationships, jobs, and anything that was a lasting commitment. Desperate for a change, I knew I needed to help them. One day, I had a powerful encounter and realized the power of surrendering. This took me to successfully working with individuals from detox to living many productive years of recovery.
While many people struggle with relapse and recurring and even transferring addictions, over the past 35 years, I've helped many conquer and break free from the chains of addiction. If you're ready to change your life, please reach out. I'd love to help get you set free.
