I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with substance abuse issues, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and issues of self-worth. There are often issues involving poor communication between one another within a couple or a family unit. Whether I sit with just one member of a couple or family, or several, there is often a set of beliefs that are being worked with that are found to be developed out of fear or a pattern of neglect for self or other. My clients experience an increased sense of connection to themselves and the world around them, inclusive of the activities and people they care about.

Happiness is the only true measure of success. When we realize that something is impeding our journey of life a conscious choice can be made to change that which is keeping greater happiness at bay. The other choice is to remain on our current path and choose to accept things exactly for how they are. Self-doubt, fears, anger, grief, past trauma, or maladaptive behaviors, challenge many good people. Whether it is personal growth you seek or better relationships with loved ones, neighbors, or coworkers - permit me to be your professional guide on the road to your success.
