Introduction

Growing up in Chicago, I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of addiction, untreated mental illness, and systemic neglect. Those experiences didn't just shape me—they ignited a determination to understand why people suffer and how healing actually happens. Here's what I've learned: every problem has a solution, and science has given us the roadmap. Brain-based research now shows us not just what works, but how recovery works. We have proven tools that help people reclaim their lives—but only if they learn how to use them. That's where I come in. At the Family Wellness and Recovery Center, I don't just provide therapy—I teach you the skills necessary to live life on life's' terms . Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating recovery, or supporting your family through military life's challenges, I'll walk with you and your family.. Recovery isn't a destination. It's a journey, and you don't have to walk it alone. But you must make the first step to your true destiny. Call 757-962-9644 or schedule online TODAY.
