We are all unique and so are the struggles we face daily. Being unique is great, yet there comes a time when we are faced with challenges, feeling stuck, frustrated, angry or simply misunderstood.

Sometimes an outsider looking in may be exactly what you need in order to identify and develop the best solution to meet your unique and individual needs. Life is full of ups and downs- in therapy we learn how to maneuver through the waves of life.

I offer supportive collaboration and encouragement to the process of establishing right attitude, gaining insight, setting goals, weathering adversity, and making other meaningful changes that increase balance and foster peace of mind.
