As a holistic therapist and life strategist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential through growth in all aspects of your life. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying eclectic therapy approaches and techniques, we will discover long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Philosophy: "It is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. Experience is a lesson and the lesson is a new experience."

At times in life we all get stuck and venture to places in which change is necessary. I aim to create a safe and caring space where we (you and I) listen to what your thoughts, feelings and symptoms are telling you about your story. Those stories then serve as a roadmap for developing new skills, making new meanings, and rediscovering parts of yourself that may have been lost. My style is warm, compassionate and creative, and I will use my years of experience and intuiton to guide and walk alongside you in your courageous journey of healing.

While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more.
