My practice is influenced by spirituality as well as humor. As an experienced meditator, I help clients explore ways of coping with stress and overthinking.

Children are a precious aspect of many people's lives. Despite having loving, caring families, even children need a trusting, caring adult with whom they can share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
