Have you ever felt like you are on a boat lost at sea and you don't know where to turn? There are unexpected life events for human beings that can cause sudden stress, trauma, and challenges in their daily life. Without support some people have no place to turn and they feel hopeless and lost. A change in course cannot occur without action and calling in for support is the first step and sometimes the hardest step. Here at a "safe harbor" you can find respite, guidance, support, and encouragement to work through your challenges and find the inner strength to empower yourself to manifest what you need and your destiny.

Are you ready to take control back of your life? I am passionate and committed to helping you overcome life's challenges and finally embrace your true authentic self. I focus on a holistic approach to healing, which means I treat each client as a "whole" comprised of mind, body, and spirit. I work with a wide array of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, grief/loss, self-esteem, disordered eating and other mental health/behavioral concerns. I have an affinity for the challenges of adolescents, teens, and young adults as I support them in working to find their path to greater autonomy.

I believe YOU are THE EXPERT of your own life. One's perspective often limits one's view of problems and blocks one's intentions, desires, and dreams. I come alongside you in your journey and guide you as you discover that problems are not permanent attachments but issues which can be transformed into manageable catalysts for change. Change requires a plan which involves steps leading to reachable and measureable goals. Have oppressive feelings of helplessness and victimization become the story of your life? Would you rather optimism and hope? Then I invite you to Rewrite the Story of Your Life.
