Do you have trouble understanding what you’re feeling, or why you’re feeling it? Maybe you find yourself asking “does that make sense?”, unsure whether your thoughts are coming across how you want them to. Or you tend to be really hard on yourself, with a running narrative of “I’m the worst!”. Perhaps you’re scared to get things wrong, and feel unable to trust yourself to know what you want, let alone how to get there. This might come from being told how you think doesn't make sense, past mistakes, or being told to deny your own perceptions. You want to feel more at ease, confident, and relaxed. If this describes you, I can help!

All humans are unique, as are all clients. While there is no way to describe the “ideal” client, I work best with those individuals who place a high value on authenticity, transparency, and honesty. Those three factors are well suited for clients who are goal-driven and aspire true and lasting change. Some areas of rewarding experience have included work with non-traditional family structures, women’s health and wellness, intergenerational trauma healing, adoption and its impact for all involved, and healthy relationship development- to name a few. I assist humans in realizing, trusting, and believing in their truest potential.

Helen Keller once said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."

My role is to help you utilize your strengths and share my expertise so you can develop new insights and skills to make positive life changes.

I believe it is a universal human experience to have times in your life where you look around and aren’t sure where to go next. Maybe what has worked for you in the past just isn’t any more. Perhaps life has thrown you some unexpected challenges. Or maybe you’ve given a particular difficulty your best effort but aren’t making the progress you would like. While these moments of uncertainty can be unsettling, they also represent an opportunity for growth and change. You might be tempted to avoid that feeling of uncertainty and simply fall back into familiar patterns.
