What keeps you awake at night, or awakens you suddenly at three AM? Or you have that dreaded feeling of having to wake up and face the worry, or situation again with no resolution. It's not pleasant experiencing these feelings alone, feeling you have no one who can really understand, or partner with you to find some clarity, or answers. I also offer soul-centered transformational coaching for women over 60. If this feels familiar, I hope you will consider contacting me. I'd be honored to partner with you, to see if together we can find your joy, clarity and the confidence to be all that you are meant to be.

Sometimes life is painful. We all struggle and this doesn't mean you're defective. There's simply something that needs attention and care. Maybe you're overwhelmed with strong emotions, or feeling down or numbed out. Or you're experiencing painful, recurring thoughts that cause anxiety- part of you understands these thoughts aren't true, but they can really feel true. Whatever it is that you're going through, I'll listen with warmth and compassion as we work together to help you process difficult emotions, grief or traumas so that you can experience more joy, self-compassion, and presence in your life.

I especially love helping women discover their inherent strength and resilience through mindful self-compassion.
Loving presence is at the heart of my practice. I trust the inner wisdom of each individual and view the therapist-client relationship as a collaboration. We all experience challenging seasons of life. In difficult times, we may realize that our habitual behaviors and patterns of relating to others are out of alignment with our core values. In our work together, I will gently encourage self-inquiry in service of realigning with your wise, authentic self. I believe that the body holds a deep wisdom that each one of us can ultimately learn to trust.

Life can throw numerous curve balls, and sometimes we need to expand our support system to persevere and carry on. Reaching out to meet with a counselor is not a sign of weakness, but rather shows bravery and a willingness for growth and change. When an individual makes the decision to enter counseling, it can be an intimidating choice during an already difficult time. It’s not always easy to be open and vulnerable with a counselor. I recognize the courage it takes and approach the therapist-client relationship as a collaborative experience throughout the process. We will work together as a team.
