Sometimes life throws you challenges that tax your ability to cope and thrive in healthy ways, leaving you in a state of survival, lacking connection with yourself, others and the world around you. My belief is that your innate strengths can be rediscovered to find the joy and peace you long for in your world – this begins with the relationship with yourself and sets the foundation for all other relationships & goal-achievement in your life. I work with teens and adults in areas including life changes, parenting challenges, trauma, chronic illness, substance abuse, and assistance navigating outside resources to attain your goals
With over 20 years of experience and training in working with youth and families, my goal is to help you understand yourself and the world around you, strengthen your relationships, and guide you through the difficulties you are facing. I use multiple modalities to address your specific concerns, needs and desires.
Leading with compassion and support, we will work collaboratively, so you can discover your truth and become the best version of yourself which will improve all your relationships and guide you on your path towards a successful life.
