Recovery Coaching

My passion is helping people reconstruct their lives after a profound life event.  I do this by working one-on-one with the cleint.  It is not possible to go back to the old you once you have survived a profound life event, that person is gone.  If you would like to work with me please call me at (630) 561-5989.
