We all want to live our best life possible with joy and vitality. Sometimes physical, emotional, psychological, or other limitations make it challenging to do so. Recovering from the setbacks and losses of the coronavirus pandemic has been difficult for some people facing the ongoing impact of long Covid or the grief of losing loved ones. The hostile political climate and wars around the world create even greater unrest, anxiety, and a lack of safety. You want to get back on track and need a partner to walk with you through this. It isn’t too late. I trust that we will get through whatever you are facing together. You are not alone.

Navigating life's hurdles can sometimes seem like an uphill battle, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. Eventually, it can start to feel difficult to imagine things ever changing. If you find yourself in this place of uncertainty, know that you're not alone. Facing challenges like these doesn't mean you're flawed; it means you're human, and you shouldn't have be alone in this journey.

I specialize in helping families heal their issues and relationships. I also work with teenage clients who are experiencing anxiety and need coping strategies. I listen carefully to my clients to understand what they are saying, not only on a conscious level, but on a subconscious level. In that way, I get a deeper understanding of what they actually want and what they need, and why.

Creating a rich and meaningful life in the 21st century is more complicated now than ever. Sometimes, personal, work, and family responsibilities are difficult to manage in spite of our best intentions. Stress takes its toll on individuals, couples, and families. Mental and physical health deteriorates, relationships suffer or fall apart, and dreams, once vibrant and alive, fade like an aged photograph. Yet, even an old photograph holds memories of previous dreams, however dim, and can provide the impetus for a hopeful future. I can help you create your future by resolving the past and living in the present.

Even the strongest people need help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. You may have noticed that you have been experiencing problems sleeping, problems in your relationships or problems functioning at work. Everyone has hurdles to overcome that sometimes include being weighed down by self-doubt, shame, worry, loneliness and only seeing what you did wrong. You may ask yourself “how can I continue like this”, well you don’t have to. It is possible to change and love your life.
