As said by Jim Rohn, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” We all experience personal setbacks from time to time. Unfortunately, life does not and will never operate completely according to our own plans. When experiencing a setback or situation that requires a different approach, there is absolutely no shame in reaching out for assistance. The human spirit is one of survival and we all have the ability to persevere. It is my belief we are not defined by our weakness, personal struggles, and/or current circumstances.

You're disappointed with your life, but you don’t know how to change things. You’re unsettled in your job, your relationship, or the way life is happening around you. Your career path has stalled, and you blame yourself for not setting professional boundaries. The relationship you’re in is low on connection and mismatched on priorities. Life must go on, but you feel stuck in the daily grind, high in stress and low in satisfaction. Feelings of guilt and shame weigh heavily on you, and you wonder if you’re the problem. An enormous sense of dread is ever present in your daily life, and you wish you could get rid of it.

I strive to create a calm, safe space for people to receive this. I work with individuals, couples, children and teens.
