I do not believe that we are meant to merely survive in life, but rather, THRIVE!

I enjoy working with someone who has struggled in relationships or with reaching educational or career goals and has been feeling saddened or frustrated with their limited success. While forming a working relationship, I focus on helping the person to develop realistic goals. I balance my work between teaching new coping skills and helping the person address and resolve conflicts with others as well as within his or her self that have interfered in the past. Then, we focus on gaining motivation toward using the newly learned skills and making significant changes in his or her life.

Grief can be looked upon as a "club" that one enters involuntarily, yet becomes a life long member. Often time, one "thinks" they have processed losing a loved one, however, during our sessions we will uncover you have not. Grief is also not limited to losing a loved one by death but also going through a separation/divorce, loss of a home or income, or loss of normalcy (as so many of us experienced through the pandemic).

Let's finally take the steps needed to process your grief and heal
