My ideal client is any human struggling with the present moment, any human suffering.
I am passionate about helping children, children having disabilities, adolescents, couples trying to make it, or couples in distress, adults and seniors. Let me help you in breaking patterns of behavior that may cause difficulty in life. I believe in providing the most affirming and safe environment free of judgment, full of awareness and compassion.
I am a Licensed Social Worker who knows how the imposter syndrome feels due to excessive time in the field. I grew up in a conservative, single parent home; I struggled greatly in school and then became a teacher/principal in my adult years. I will help you develop inner strength and creativity toward depression, anxiety and unhappiness.
