New Client Forms
Welcome to LifeSwitch
Thank you for trusting me in guiding you to forge a new path, a new perspective, and a new existence. What lies ahead is a purposeful, fearless and regret-free life that clears the hurdles that serve to prevent most of us from even understanding our true potential, much less reach it. It is true that the goals of our work together include living without drugs and alcohol; but it’s so much bigger than that! Freeing oneself from the ball and chain of alcohol and drugs is a necessary and impactful beginning that no doubt offers many positive results all by itself. But our short journey together can also be the catalyst towards a new life that is so rich and rewarding it defies even your greatest imagination. In the words of Dr. Seuss, "Oh the places you will go!"
So take a deep breath, clear your mind of preconceptions that have thwarted progress before, and get ready for a journey that promises to change your life.
Mike
