If you want more courageous conversations about things you deeply care about with important people in your life, then I think we might work well together. I focus on accessing and tracking resiliency that people sometimes lose touch with to make change happen. I am counseling individuals, couples and families to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen emotional intimacy. More recently I assist people with difficult transitions managing chronic health and age related challenges. I am here to support you in that journey.
Many life challenges come in the form of anxiety and depression which are often unaddressed issues that need attention. We can explore the obstacles getting in your way in an counseling environment where respect, empathy, kindness and honesty is invited.
I am deeply committed to facilitating change in peoples lives. I will support you to make the changes in your life that might be challenging but essential for wellbeing. I seek to invigorate hope and help you access new skills to embrace more happiness. I moved to California in 2000 from New Zealand. I love the outdoors and being with family and friends.
