Life sometimes gives us lemons. It is up to us to turn it into lemonade. While change is good, it certainly can be hard.

My aim is to collaborate with you to find solutions to problems, and to help you make the changes that are necessary to allow you to live a fulfilling life.

We all have potential for change and, sometimes, need a guide through the obstacles that stand in our way.

My primary goals are to listen, understand, challenge, and help you gain a new perspective on your situation. I work with motivated adults who want to improve their relationships, work performance, and social lives.
