This work involves exploration of the past, identifying where relationships and experiences overwhelmed us, exceeded our ability to cope and resulted in the creation of unhelpful beliefs and behaviors. Untangling, reframing and updating these patterns leads to a greater sense of harmony both internally and in relationship to others.

My role allows me to become an ally with the healing power of human connection to better your relationships and life.

Whoever you may be and whatever reason brought you here, I believe that you are here because somewhere inside you also feel a sense of hope, longing, or possibility that things can be different.
