Empowering adults and teens to confront anxiety and depression, find equilibrium between career and personal life, overcome the grip of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies, and embark on the journey of healing from childhood wounds, family estrangements, and intricate relational dynamics.

Does this resonate with your life?: "I am suffering. Why should I work with you?" Or, perhaps, "I want to develop my character." And, "I need encouragement in my life." Also, "I want to establish a satisfying, long-term relationship." Or, "My child/teen has ADHD or depression." I also work with TBI, grief and domestic violence. Many clients work with me over a number of years which speaks to the type of relationships I establish. I bring a quite presence to a safe place where you can share of yourself. Many appreciate that I am cash pay, therefore no interference from insurance providers.

Navigating anxiety, defeat, or emptiness can often cloud the path to change, yet there's always room for hope. I warmly extend an invitation for us to embark on a journey together towards peace and healing in your life. In today's world, we encounter increasing stress and challenges on a daily basis. With a rich background of experience and education, I understand the complexities and hurdles that individuals confront today.

Feeling anxious or depressed is often the result of chronic stress, unresolved trauma or grief. I work with adults who struggle with intense emotions or have coped through numbing them. Some suffer from physical discomfort or chronic pain, while others struggle in their relationships, or engage in behaviors that both soothe and hurt them. If that resonates with you, I would love to offer you my attention and guiding skills to help you explore and make sense of your inner experiences in order to heal wounds and access more calm, clarity, confidence, compassion, and connection with yourself and others, so that you may feel more alive!
