When my daughter was only three months old my husband got suddenly extremely sick, to the point that he almost didn’t make it. Although this marked a challenging moment in our lives, it was also a very transformative time. Once we survived those gruelling months, we decided to change our lives and do more of what we love. It was time for me to do what I always wanted to do in life, to help others find ways to fulfill there lives to the fullest as well as help people transition through difficult circumstances.

Whether it is burnout, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, loss, or relationship conflict; regardless of the source of stress, one thing is certain: it is overwhelming your capacity to cope. Loneliness, social isolation, social injuries and injustices can also contribute to the suffering. Despite the overarching influence the problems are having on your life, there is a wise, compassionate presence in you right now trying to reach out for support.

We all struggle at one point or another in our lives, and asking for help can be the first step toward healing. Whatever it is you're going through, I'm here to help you discover that things aren't always as difficult as our minds may have us believe. My goal is to instill hope that things can get better and to create opportunities for growth and living as your most authentic self.
