I love working with people who have the desire to live well. I believe the word "recovery" simply means living well and appreciating life. Life is difficult, that is obvious. However, it is important to have perspective, tools, and connection to help with life's slings and arrows. I help individuals and couples with that. Some important questions: What is blocking healthy connection? What is blocking your full potential and effectiveness in life? Although life is difficult, it can also be joyous. It is possible to be authentic as well as appreciate your life and your partner.
