Each of us have faced painful personal experiences. Pain can be due to events, interactions with others or troubled relationships. Or they can be caused by negative behavior or thought patterns that won’t stop. Sometimes we can address such troubles on their own. However, if you have been unable to resolve difficult issues alone, you may realize how they reduce the quality of your life – by establishing a pattern of emotional problems, an inability to interact productively with others, impacting your career, negatively affect relationships, or create problematic habits. But they can be addressed with help. My hours are M-F 8-4

Children deserve to have a wonderful sense of " It's good to be me!". That should carry through to adulthood, experiencing myself as empowered, loving, and many other great qualities, and able to have satisfying relationships. However, that great sense of self can be lost due to kinds of emotional and psychological wounding. This produces a loss of sense of wholeness and a resulting sense of fragmentation and all kinds of problems this fragmentation produces. My job is to help people regain their sense of wholeness and everything that goes with this and the feeling " It's good to be me".

I firmly believe in the inherent potential of each person to become their optimal self.

By fostering this connection, I aspire to empower individuals to navigate life's complexities and unlock their fullest potential.
