Sometimes it feels like the world just isn't made for us and no matter what we try, we can't seem to find a way around those things that prevent us from getting our needs met. I meet people where they are and attempt to take an outside perspective in helping them meet their goals as we define together. I also try to fully understand a person as it includes where they came from, decisions made through life, and influences outside of their control. I want to help you build the life you want with your own strength.
