(SAP) Substance Abuse Professional with (DOT)
Mission Statement:
To produce permanent good by inspiring self-empowerment within individuals in the community whose lives have been affected by substance abuse, mental health issues, incarceration and homelessness
It all happened on a cold rainy day, as I was alone at home sipping hot Coco on the porch and taking an inventory of my life. I felt fortunate as compared to many others I knew, yet I felt a void, something missing, something was incomplete. So far, I have been a Substance Abuse Counselor, Administrator and a Teacher who himself suffered from the ups and downs of Addiction. I am now willing and able to give back! We know that 10 to 20 percent of families in USA have struggled with alcohol and substance abuse. There are those living in despair, and many don’t have the necessary skills for gainful employment. In addition, a great deal of the programs which have worked for scores of clients in the past are not still available. Consequently, there are those individuals that don’t get the necessary help that they need, desire and deserve. Many individuals feel abandoned and turn to self- destructive behaviors and activities. It is my Mission to help inspire and empower these individuals

Anger Management
"Untangling Relationships" is a process. Relationships can be painful, Sometimes the people we love the most cause us the most pain. Many people seem to believe that they have no other choice, that they have to accept the hardships and problems that accompany living with a "difficult" person. It doesn't have to be that way. Always remember we can only change ourselves. We cannot change the other person. Do you want to work on you?
* I have personally experienced more individuals relapse over relationship "issues' than any other one dynamic.
