I walk alongside teenagers and adults who want to discover strengths, heal themselves & reach life goals. We'll create personalized paths built upon unique experiences, needs & aspirations that lead to a life full of compassion & meaning. I’ll help you identify, understand & let go of unhealthy coping habits, unwanted behavior, negative thoughts, communication ruptures, unproductive defense mechanisms, inner-child wounds, generational patterns and other things that are holding you back. We'll empower the person you want to be by empowering the person you already are.
I offer deep listening so that your thoughts and feelings are heard, validated, and supported. You’ll receive respect for your situation with unconditional positive regard. I am strength-based, which means even when exploring the rugged terrain, I’ll be cheering you on and celebrating your skills & worth.
Let’s learn to overcome adversities big or small or anywhere in between, by increasing awareness of self and situation. Let's illuminate your path to peace & purpose through understanding & empathetic encouragement. Let's get intentional about your healing goals and achieve them together by unpacking challenges and loading up on self-love.
