Conflict is inevitable.... we have all battled and faced success and loss with loved ones, friends, family, school, employers, opposing teams and life! Life is all about challenge management, personal approach and flexibility. In a supportive & understanding environment we will unravel your stories and talk about your experiences. I support making tough decisions and taking personal ownership. While not easy, I advocate for taking brave steps toward positive growth and self-empowerment. The goal of peer-mentored life coaching is self-development and actualization through peer-support; freeing you from conflict and guilt.
Life has its ups and downs but perspective has a lot to do with how we react to stress. From personal to professional growth, a BALANCED life helps you overcome your struggles in healthy ways in order to create the life you’ve always desired. I specialize in the ego development, reinforcement and mentorship of adolescents, teens and adults.
I am not perfect nor has my life always been. I have made mistakes been divorced, fought infertility, battled two cancers & have lovingly supported my spouse and our family. I wouldn't change a thing; these are the experiences that have made me who I am today. I firmly believe that, "Life Is Like Riding a Bicycle, To Keep Your Balance You Must Keep Moving."

I do not accept insurance but that is precisely how I try to keep access to care affordable. My rates for youth, under the age of 18 years old and their family members, is a flat, affordable rate of $60 per session; that's less than the average cost of a fast food meal for a family of four!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress and set goals. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. Together I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
