I'm an Addiction Recovery Counselor and serve as Clinical Director at a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility. This is where I created my Emotional Integration Training as a method of recovery for clients. The SAMHSA (Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration) working definition of recovery is: a process of change where individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential. "Recovery" is for everyone. And at its heart, what I am actually recovering is my true Self. I work with individuals using a Collaborative Conversation Model which organically holds a space for you to access your own resources and strengths. My extensive 30+ years' of experience with addiction recovery, spiritual cultivation and integration allows me to be comfortable working with anyone from any background. I've adopted the following quote from Ita Ford - a Maryknoll Sister who was murdered in El Salvador in 1980 - as my personal mission statement and it reflects the way I will work with you, as I don't have answers, only questions, and experience with looking: Can I say to my neighbor: I have no solution for this situation, I have no answers, but I want to go with you and look for them with you? Can I allow myself to be evangelized by this opportunity? Am I able to see my own poverty and accept what I learn from others?
