Let Yourself Blossom
Welcome!! Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. You will discover that my passion is working with all individuals regardless of age who are struggling with alcohol and/or drug abuse, as well as co-occurring disorders. As a mother of a former drug-addicted daughter, I fought and won the battle to save my child's life and future. Drug education is critical for parents and those who care about a loved one who is destroying the most complex organ in the body - the human brain.
In my book, “The Autograph Within: A Message of Hope.” I share from a parent’s perspective, my determination to fight for my daughter’s life and future as she struggled with the stronghold of drug and alcohol addiction. She is currently celebrating over 20 years of sobriety and living a healthy and productive life. It was well worth the journey.
