Have you wondered where to begin? Have you thought you want things to be different, you want change, but don't know where to start? Sometimes the hurt is too much, or the fear is too great and we stop moving forward. We stall or we freeze. I have been privileged to have met and worked with many individuals who are trying to find their first step, or who are stalled and need a fresh set of eyes to help see the possibilities. I would be happy to join you in your journey to help you get to where you image is your best self. The first step is a phone call.

I help adults and teens achieve wellness so that they can lead a confident life without sacrificing their mental wellbeing.

My clients come to see me seeking assistance for a wide variety of issues related to anxiety, depression, mental/physical illness, grief and loss, trauma, stress, and unexplained anger. I believe in exploring issues from a family perspective; where did you come from and how did you come to be who, and how, you are? When you struggle in your life, it can sometimes become too easy to focus solely on what is wrong, forgetting what is right. Working together, you can get back on the right path.
