Are you experiencing a life transition (divorce, empty nest, menopause, bored with your job, retirement)? Feeling stagnant in general? Do you know there is something more for you ‘out there?' Major life transitions can feel challenging and times of change can be disorienting, scary. You may be questioning whether or not you can successfully navigate the changes you are facing. Depending on your situation, you may feel helpless, hopeless, sad, and/or angry. But there is hope, you are resilient, you can do this! I believe that we all have the power within us to create positive change and transformation.
My goal is to help you uncover what might be holding you back and to find and use your strengths so that you can get on the path to living your best life. By working together, we can find and nurture your power so you can start living your most authentic life with purpose and meaning, to move forward with hope, support, and clarity.
Using a combination of positive and cognitive theoretical frameworks, I help clients navigate change and overcome the obstacles to living a meaningful life. I listen with compassion and for understanding, cultivating a strong working alliance so that you can focus on taking action and moving your life forward.
