Ark Motivation Recovery Program

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Addiction Counselor in the state of Florida. With multiple degrees under my belt, including a doctoral ministry, a master's in counseling and mental health, human resources, and ministry, and a bachelor's in sociology, I have been helping individuals with substance abuse and mental health issues for over 30 years. I am also a provider of continued educational credits (CEU's) to healthcare professionals to assist in attaining their annual certification educational units.

I believe in utilizing various treatment approaches, including solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive therapy, as well as introducing the 12 steps to those in recovery. I have seen firsthand that these principles provide guidance and support to individuals seeking a life free of drugs.

I encourage individuals who are struggling to take the first step and ask for help. It may seem like the task is impossible, however, small incremental steps in recovery have the potential to create a committed life of recovery utilizing recovery tools.

I offer sliding scale payment options for those in need. My specialties include ADHD, addiction, adoption, alcohol use, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, career counseling, chronic relapse, coping skills, education and learning disabilities, life coaching, men's issues, racial identity, school issues, self-esteem, spirituality, sports performance, stress, substance use, testing and evaluation, women's issues, and thinking disorders.
