With the work I have done with M.K., I am able to move forward and approach life with many valuable new skills that have greatly improved my personal relationships. I am truly grateful to her.

Katy D. -

I have known M.K. for over 25 years both personally and professionally. She is honest, forthright, kind, and dependable. M.K. is known for her forward thinking as well as for using cutting-edge skills. She is open to new ideas, a good listener, inquisitive. These gifts allow others to feel “listened to” by M.K., a rare and most valuable gift for a therapist and a friend. She understands complex ideas, is independent, innovative, and inventive. I find M.K. naturally looks at both sides of a situation. She seems to find most things interesting which makes her the good and perceptive listener that she is. This allows her to draw out deep and important things from people. M.K. sees the humor in life which gives her a wry sense of the absurd, often bringing humor to healing. She is a visionary. Ahead of her time.

Jayne J. -

M.K. is like no other therapist with whom I have worked. Her unique approach addresses issues directly, and her humor adds lightness to what may sometimes be dark subjects. I cannot say enough about her, both as a Life Coach and an ever-evolving human being.

Lynda H. -

M.K. is a consummate professional who brings both passion and compassion to her work. She genuinely cares for each of her clients and invests time and energy into them helping them improve the quality of their lives. She is a tireless advocate for those assigned to her.

Michelle C. -

M.K. is a very knowledgeable, kind and gentle person. She created a safe place where I could be vulnerable and open my mind to explore the possibilities of making positive changes in my life. I highly recommend her as a Life Coach.

Karen S -

My first sessions with M.K. were in 2005. She showed amazing interest in my individual struggles and was dedicated to working towards resolutions and improvements with true concern and love. In one of those sessions she matched me with an AA sponsor; I still work with him today. I have known M.K. for thirteen years now and she still shows the same enthusiasm for her work as when I first met her. I would recommend M.K. to anyone
seeking to make self evaluations and emotional changes to improve their lives.

Mike B. -

M.K. is a seasoned professional with decades of experience marked by pragmatism, respect, humor, and discernment.  She is the best clinician I have ever met. M.K.’s gift is that she is a very real and extremely powerful channel for healing.  Her honest feedback and suggestions have helped me to identify what makes me tick, and more importantly, have empowered me to make better choices, ones I didn’t even know were on the menu of my life. Every moment I have spent with M.K. translates to hours I have been able to give back to my family and loved ones.  M.K. has been an integral part of my journey of self discovery and healing.

Irene M. -

There is no possible way words can convey my life experiences with M.K.. Although I come from a fairly affluent, well educated family with good intentions, I struggled with codependency and relationship addiction my entire life. M.K. was the first person who possessed the keen intuition, the professional rigor, the deepest of compassion and the technical knowledge and expertise to assist me in taming this addiction. I no longer look to
others for my value and worth, for I have found the treasures within myself. With my higher power and M.K. at the helm of this ship my life journey has become a thoroughly satisfying experience. I am grateful and eternally indebted to her.

Peter S. -

M.K.’s magic is that she can empathize with the turmoil of a deeply troubled mind and gently lead it to a place of safety. She is uniquely qualified to understand the aftermath of trauma and the ruinous effects of addiction, depression and self loathing. MK saved my life. She continues to save my life today by helping me identify the self sabotaging thought patterns to which I so often fall prey. I am a happier man now, and I owe it in large part to M.K.’s counsel, kindness and wisdom.

Peter G. -

I thank M.K. for all her help in getting me on the right track with my daughter. I was very concerned that the communication between Stephanie and I was moving in the wrong direction and was starting to tear us apart. I am grateful that M.K. showed me a better way to communicate with my daughter. Learning how to talk to Stephanie without upsetting her while still keeping healthy boundaries was most helpful. Today my daughter and I have a wonderful relationship that, at one point, I didn’t think would be possible. M.K. was great at understanding my issue and working with me to achieve the goals I desired.

Carmen R. -

I’ve known M.K. for several years. She is one of those beautiful souls that we rarely meet. As a professional, M.K. is patient and direct. I needed this from her to heal hurts from the past. M.K. helped me to be more confident in my marriage, and life in general. She taught me when and how to speak my truth. M.K. demonstrated through her own actions that an authentic life is the best life.

Rhonni A. -

M.K. offers insight into the most complicated of clients. She has a plethora of information and can expertly interpret this information to assist others in their sobriety. She is compassionate, warm and friendly which invites the clients to trust her. In my 35 years as a licensed therapist in Palm Beach County I have never seen a therapist more skilled in the area of addiction than M.K..

Marilyn M. -

I have collaborated in conducting addiction workshops to seminarians preparing for priesthood, presentations to parents regarding their efforts to prevent their children from getting involved with drugs, and talking to families about their own continuing care and support for their recovery. Her expertise includes individual, group, and couples work. She has been invaluable in our collaborations. I’ve known M.K. professionally and socially since the mid 1990s.

Erik V. -

I have only positive things to say about M.K.. Her character is impeccable and has demonstrated itself in her individual and group counseling. My experience with M.K. has been truly inspiring. M.K. has the knowledge, experience and compassion necessary to help people guide themselves towards a more fulfilling life.

Jesse T. -

Compassionate. No Nonsense. Delivers Truth. M.K.’s experiences and her profound intelligence allow her to deliver a true gift to those who seek peace and normality in a dysfunctional world. She is passionate about her work. Over the years I have been fortunate to have M.K.’s assistance concerning personal and seemingly complicated situations. M.K. has always been there for me with compassion, while at the same time suggesting thought provoking ideas by way of pertinent questions. Brilliant! I am blessed for having known M.K..

Diane R. -

M.K. is very insightful and encourages thoughtfulness because she is very thought provoking herself. I highly recommend doing studies with her. She really helped me take an honest and compassionate look at myself.

Stephanie K. -

For 20 years I have been blessed to have M.K. in my life. She is fun, witty and smart beyond words. M.K. also takes life seriously in the arena of growth and spiritual responsibility. She is deeply contemplative and brings that quality to her work. She is a wonderful mirror through her silence, her words and her actions. Most of all M.K. is truly honest, no matter what. I recommend M.K. as a Life Coach to anyone on the path of improved self care and improved self management.

Mary B. -

During a very difficult time in my recovery I took the advise of a friend and sought help from M.K. With compassion and humor she expertly guided me into discovering who I was at the core, my true self. I became aware that I was an “Adult Child” with deep shame feelings that I had always been afraid to face. First of all, M.K. referred me to the fellowship of Adult Children of Alcoholics where I experienced support, enlightenment and a level of honesty I will always treasure. Then we worked together to help me eliminate power struggles from my everyday life. We addressed my high need to control and many other issues. My wife and I have also collaborated with M.K. to positive ends. I am a more compassionate and patient man today, one who fully enjoys life on life’s terms.

Jonathan A. -

I’ve known M.K. since 1997. She has been one of the most influential people in my life. During the darkest time of my life she was there for me. Twenty years later we are still close friends.

Dick K. -

I have had the pleasure of knowing M.K. for more that 15 years. She is a highly skilled leader of Facilitated Psycho-Educational Groups helping many, many people to live more fulfilling lives, including myself. As a participant in one of M.K.’s groups I was well on my way to a promising future of new possibilities.

Marcia B. -

M.K. is honest, caring and respectful. She has won awards for her work in the recovery field and has helped me personally with codependency issues. M.K. practices the fine art of self-care and continues to show me the way.

Gerry F. -

Kathy F. -

My wife and I worked with M.K. a couple of years ago as individuals and as a couple. She helped us grow as a couple as well as individuals. M.K. is one of the most intuitive, insightful and direct human beings I have ever met. She has a way of communicating that impacted me then and still does today. More than anyone, she showed me how to speak my truth and treat myself with kindness, compassion and respect. I am grateful to know her
and will always be in her debt.

Steven A. -

My name is Bobby K. I have known M.K. for more than 28 years. One of the most amazing things I know about her is that she has the ability to see thru all the chaos and mud and discover what is really going on in a situation. She has helped me find clarity in many situations in my life. I have sent friends of mine to her and they have come back with the same response, she helped pick through the small stuff and get to the real core issue. In the time that I have known her she has set goals for herself and taken the steps to achieve those goals. MK has been a true friend and inspiration to me.

Bobby K. -

M.K. has a vast amount of compassionate knowledge to share with those who are faced with addiction in their family. Additionally she has the skill to clarify family dynamics and develop coping mechanisms for all involved. I still hear her voice in my head when those difficult times are presented; It allows me to stay calm through the situation.

Tony S. -

M.K. put the final polish on my four weeks of recovery at Hanley-Hazelden in July, 1997, where she ran the Family Program, helping addicts and their loved ones to understand each other. Since that time I have talked with many people whose stories are powerful testaments to her skill. I’ve also seen her in action leading meetings and introducing speakers, in addition to being an outstanding speaker herself, spreading a message of hope.

Bill C. -

At 39, after a lifetime of drinking, I met M.K. She was the first person in my life who offered me an opportunity to look into my behavior and she empowered me to change. She is tough, but respectful, fair and compassionate. I owe 18 years of continuous sobriety to the start that she gave me. She is an amazing human being to boot!

Anthony T. -

I had the privilege of working under the supervision of M.K. for more than 10 years at the Hanley Hazelden Family Center in West Palm Beach. I find her to be one of the best psycho educational group and individual facilitators I know. Her high level of skill is matched by her high level of compassion. She remains my go to person when I have personal issues to process. Her skills are multifaceted and brilliant.

Jacqui J. -

I am honored to recommend the services of M.K. and have complete confidence in the high ethical standards she maintains with clients in both group and private sessions. From the very start, I was impressed by M.K.’s direct and confrontational manner coupled with a sense of compassion when addressing the life-threatening aspects of Substance Use Disorders and their relationship to family systems. M.K. has a wealth of experience and tools that provide her clients with a sound foundation for applying principles of self-care to develop life skills oriented towards positive and long-lasting change. I have often referred both professionals and clients to her care as a Life Coach in order to develop positive change in their practices and lifestyle choices.

Allen S. -

M.K. is a kind, sensitive person. She is a good listener and gives feedback that will produce solutions. She speaks with a soft toned voice an encourages me to keep moving forward with positive thoughts. M.K. is a remarkable woman, wife, friend and support.

Carol M. -

M.K. is an excellent Life Coach. At our first meeting she gained my full confidence and trust. I always felt like I had her absolute attention and that helping me was her top priority. In areas that were not in her field of expertise, she would access an excellent resource file to meet my needs. I am grateful to M.K. for the help that both I and my family received. In my opinion she is special.

Clare L. -

I’ve been working with M.K. for nearly 10 years including a few when I was active in my addiction and relapsing frequently. M.K. helped me get the proper treatment during this run and guided me through early recovery. I now have 7+ years of Blessed sobriety and a life I never thought I’d have.

Bob A. -

I have known and worked with M.K. for 18 years. She is the best clinician I have known having worked in the field for 25 years. Her ability to connect, gain trust and assist people on their journey is without equal. I have referred potential clients to her and would do the same for any of my loved ones if needed.

Jim R. -

M.K. has for many years been a grounding presence in my life. She asks the right questions and listens, really listens. She has acted as a guide to help me see situations, and my role in them, more clearly and to develop a healthy plan of action. She has helped me to grow both spiritually and emotionally. I am grateful for her influence in my life.

Linda K. -

I can think of few people for whom I am more pleased to give a testimonial. I have known M.K. for 27 years. I have referred many clients and friends to her, as well as being a client myself and referring members of my family. I know of no better counselor (and I know many) to deal with problems of substance abuse and family dysfunction. I believe strongly that you cannot resolve any problem unless you know the truth of it. There is no one I know who is better at getting to the truth and separating the “wheat from the chaff” than M.K.. With truth there is hope for successful resolution even for the most devastating problems.

Scott B. -

I first received counseling from M.K. at a particularly challenging point in my life, in a situation I was unequipped to deal with in a mature or healthy way. Her qualities of acceptance and ability to listen, to empathize, and to gently discuss the things she observed supplemented the experience, strength and hope she shared. This proved to be exactly what I needed. I am indebted to M.K. who introduced me to a 12 step program of recovery where I have gained a number of tools that I apply in my much-improved but still in progress life. I do not hesitate to say the M.K.’s expert guidance marked a turning point in my life; I have spoken to any number of people who have shared that same experience. I whole-heartedly recommend M.K. to anyone seeking the assistance of a Life Coach. In terms of ability and experience, I believe she has few peers in the community.

Lou S. -

I first met MK in 2011. Since then she has become a good friend and someone for whom I have the utmost respect. I know her to be very knowledgeable and competent as a Life Coach. But beyond just that, I know her to be a truly kind, caring and compassionate person who lives with principle in all aspects of her life.

Charles W -

I have a very unique perspective on the incredible work that M.K. provides. I have known M.K. nearly 30 years, which means we have had a lot of life experience’s together. I am a colleague and a friend. During the times I have worked with this gifted therapist I grew to have deep respect and admiration for her level of integrity, clear focus on client care, and the many incredible assets she brought to the organization as a whole. Several years later she became a sub-contractor for my business. Again what an incredible asset, working with complex family dynamics she was gifted at bringing issues to the light, and showed each person how they could be part of the solution. I have referred clients to her regularly and I’m very proud to call her my friend and colleague.
