"We all face difficult experiences in life that seem unmanageable. Maybe you're experiencing difficulty in your relationship with your spouse, children or significant other. Maybe you have lost someone close to you or have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Maybe you're having a difficult time adjusting to a new job or recent retirement. Maybe you're struggling with addiction or experiencing financial stress. Maybe you're anxious or depressed and find yourself avoiding doing things you used to enjoy.

"My life's work and passion is to help others reach their fullest potential, becoming the very best version of themselves. This is accomplished by promoting well-being emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I believe one's difficulties are connected to their culture, religion, community, family, relationships, environment and personal experiences, and do not happen in isolation. When the whole person is considered in therapy, healing begins. With a background in athletics, coaching, and fitness, I believe it's necessary to have both mental and physical health. The mind and body are interconnected. When they are balanced and working together, optimal health is achieved."

"The journey inside the self can be profound self discovery and change. It can help to heal psychological turmoil and emotional pain by putting the past into perspective and walking forward into a different future. It is not easy.
