Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the outcome is not what you would have hoped. I like to provide a safe space for adults experiencing life challenges to heal and grow. Through authentic and compassionate discussion you can feel and do better.
My toolbox is varied, but ultimately the work is about helping you access your own capacity to heal yourself. Sometimes what you may need is simply to be heard without judgment or fear. Compassionate thoughtful discussion can help address honest internal conflicts, release tension inspired by personal traumas, or illuminate paths you are called to walk.
You don't have to struggle alone. Please contact me for a 15 minute exploratory call to see if some Heartful Talk is right for you now.

I love to work with people who are grappling with hard questions - particularly around responsibilities, duty, and chronic stress or illness. Clients find that building a relationship with a counselor offers relief from feelings of depression, isolation, and anxiety often leading to sustained improvement in symptoms from excess stress and trauma.
