My ideal client is a woman, from college age to mid 50’s, who is going though various life transitions, such as divorce/separation, career changes, navigation parenting/family dynamics, new relationships, and empty nesting. Life’s transitions aren’t always easy. Tackling these times with a life coach, however, makes approaching these times easier—and can even make them a positive pathway to your future. As a certified Life Coach, our sessions are oriented towards the future. With my assistance, clients should be ready to assess their goals and formulate plans to align values and actions with personal goals.

I have experience working with pre-marital & couples counseling, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family-of-origin, spiritual concerns, self-esteem, career, & loneliness.
Life does the best it can to squeeze out every ounce of resilience we have in us. What do you do when you’ve come to the end of yourself? We aren’t wired to face the hurt, fear, and loneliness of life alone.

The focus covers many areas to include: emotional, mental, psychological, career, financial, intellectual, physical, spiritual, and others.
We all need a little help at various points in life..... Everyone has times in life when it is difficult to work through things on your own. Marital/Couple Problems, Separation/Divorce, Blended families, Adolescence Problems, Intimacy Issues, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Alcohol-Drug Abuse, Parenting Issues, Grief or Bereavement Issues, Stress, Conflict Resolution, Addiction, and many more. Many times, we need someone to help us sort through these changes in our lives. Change is difficult. But by having someone to walk with us through the process of change and challenge us to approach our problems differently, we can grow, succeed and be happy.

Coming to counseling as a second career, I've lived a lot of life, and I know it can be hard.
Stuck? Frustrated? Yearning? I love helping clients reconnect with themselves and find what feels good. I work with healing trauma, disconnection, anxiety/depression, and existential crisis or life transition. I specialize in body and emotional awareness and reconnection, inviting relationships with all parts of Self, giving air to what's beneath our masks, moving what needs to be moved, and relaxing into wholeness. I welcome adults of all genders, faiths, and dispositions. I bring creativity, laughter, tenderness and honesty to our sessions. "We're all just walking each other home." -Ram Dass

There is meaning in every struggle or bump in the road we face in life. Uncovering that meaning and telling our story is often the beginning of the path to healing. I work with both individuals and couples looking to repair relationships and create deeper more meaningful connection. Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, addiction, work/life balance, or just feeling overwhelmed at what life is bringing, I'd be honored to walk with you on that journey. As a second career, my journey into therapy follows a 15-year tenure in corporate management.

I am a great fit for you if you are trying to rediscover joy, foster strong and fulfilling relationships, find calm, or unlock your true potential with self-esteem building, identity exploration, or navigate through career or life transitions.
I know how difficult and daunting it is to start therapy. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible for you. It all began growing up a military kid and my pursuit of competitive sports and academia, and how those experiences taught me the importance of connection and a deep need for support. It made me interested in learning and understanding how people felt and their patterns of coping, valuing the “wholeness” of a person rather than perfection we are taught to run after. My desires for helping others continued with life experiences such as getting married, relocating to new cities, and becoming a mother.

You have an incredible purpose in this world; but, self esteem issues, anxiety, stress, and depression may be getting in the way. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed in the midst of big life changes, like pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum, weight loss, parenting, or even the grief of divorce. Or, maybe you’re in your 20’s, and career counseling, life coaching, or help navigating relationship issues could help you unlock and discern the next steps for your career and fulfilling relationships. Whatever you’re going through, you deserve to feel empowered and have a safe place to explore your own desires and next steps.

What is your story? The question seems simple, but it isn’t. Your story is comprised of your life’s experiences from your perspective. Our stories contain themes of joy, excitement love, life and heartbreak, fear, anger and loss. With the demands of daily life such as career or relationships, it can be difficult to engage in being the author of your story. Who is narrating your story? Are negative thoughts dictating your self-image? Is your anxiety controlling your narrative? Or is your sadness causing you to stare at a blank page? Ultimately, everyone deserves a better story.

Hello! I'm glad you're here. I think it was John Lennon who said, "Life is what happens while we're making other plans." As a woman leader at mid-life, you may be coping with transitions that are harder than expected. A challenging career. A big move. Getting used to an empty nest or helping aging parents. Even managing success can be pretty tough - right? Sometimes, it gets to the best of us. We find ourselves overwhelmed, burned out or just a little lost. But know this: you can get help. You will find your footing again. And this is a good place to start.
