"There are no guarantees in life and I do not have a crystal ball. Just because I have had success in other cases does not mean I will have success in yours. What I will promise you is that after talking with me you will have a much better understanding of what you or your loved one is facing. Most people I talk to feel substantially better afterwards—it’s the fear of the process and of the unknown that terrifies most of us. Talking with me is free and I do not place time limitations on the conversation. Feel free to call as often as you need to feel comfortable."
