This is my working definition of Addiction: Repeated engagement in a behavior without an ability to stop despite negative consequences. Although this commonly involves a substance, it can encompass many things. Shopping, eating, sex, gaming, gambling, pornography, the list goes on. Remember, it is not the focus, but the behaviors around the focus. I walked into my first 12-step meeting in 1985. Since then I have been closely involved in the recovery community. Stop the madness!

“Growing old is not for the faint hearted” to paraphrase an old saying. As we are living longer, our needs shift. Confusion can set in with the choices presented to us. It is going to be the first time in history that a large population of “out and proud” LGBTQ+ people are going to be senior citizens. Every day, we are entering 2nd and 3rd careers only to face professional competition from those that are younger and energetic. Navigating all of mid-life’s changes can become overwhelming. I am here to help you live and love through these times. Click the pic below to be put in touch with me today:

Depression and Anxiety are still considered by many to be a non-illness. “Just get over it” is the usual refrain from those ignorant to these conditions. Depression along with anxiety can be debilitating. Individuals with Bi-Polar conditions suffer even greater misunderstanding. My belief is that it takes more than a pill to fully recover from this illness. I want to help make the long climb out of the rabbit hole to a place of well-being. You are more than your diagnosis. Let us leave mental illness behind and focus on mental wellness. Click the pic below and let us begin your journey:

The great challenge within the LGBTQ community began as “The Plague” that was a death sentence, and is now, today, a manageable disease. However, those infected continue to be stigmatized socially. My pharmacy background gives me a unique perspective for what can be a complicated challenge. For the first time, survivors are entering their senior years with new issues that the community will have to face as they age. Mental, physical and spiritual wellness can be obtained.
