Feeling stuck? overwhelmed? unhappy? stressed? Need a "tune up"? Are you starting a new relationship, job, in a long-term relationship, raising kids, trying to get healthy physically, emotionally, or socially? These things are supposed to make us happy and give us fulfillment, right? We expect we will handle these changes with ease. These transitions can be hard. Some are comfortable with change and don't miss a beat when there is a shift in our lives, however, many of us find ourselves confused, frustrated, stressed, anxious or depressed. I can help you sort out the changes in your life.

Worried about your child or a special young kiddo you love? Have they always been active, funny, smart, and talkative but you’re starting to see things change at home or school?
