This happens by gaining deeper self-knowledge and altering patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are preventing you from achieving greater personal fulfillment. At a pace that is comfortable for you, I will help you identify major issues that are holding you back, and make real, tangible progress.

We can, together, begin the journey of getting you un-stuck by using a respectful approach of unconditional positive regard and life coaching methods.

Many of us recognize areas of our lives that lack fulfillment. We long for love, belonging, a chance to breathe and feelings of success. Trauma, addiction, and negative schemas often make achieving our goals difficult. We find ourselves right back where we started as if in a loop. Most of us, need someone to actually hear us and see us.

Does this sound familiar? You want to be happy and fulfilled but instead you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, paralyzed by anxiety about what life will throw at you next, like you are constantly spiraling and no longer have confidence and stuck and alone. These feelings can result in having a negative outlook on life causing you to experience difficulties in intimate relationships, work, school and parenting. Life doesn’t have to stay this way!

I focus on helping people separate their preferences from their problems, identify values that are most important to them, and determine the actions that will best express those values. I work collaboratively with people to detail their future hopes and honor the histories that inform their current experiences and relationships. "Therapeutic conversations help us navigate the limitations and dilemmas we all face. We each have ongoing stories about our lives, which are written by multiple authors: ourselves, our families, community, culture, and society. Some of these stories empower and embolden while others constrain and limit."
