I enjoy helping clients identify their unique strengths and gifts and develop the skills to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Are you having difficulty with personal and/or professional relationships? Maybe you've achieved a great deal professionally or financially but are still dissatisfied with your life? Are you struggling with identity issues? Do you find yourself feeling emotional for no reason? Unsure about the path your life has taken? Perhaps you are struggling with parenting issues and not feeling up to the task. I have helped many clients overcome the above and other issues over the years.
My style is interactive and I use a supportive and practical approach when helping adults, couples, and families. You'll learn to cope with stresses, manage troublesome feelings, and improve your relationships. My training in Discernment Counseling uniquely enables me to help clients quickly clarify whether divorce is the best option in their relationship.
A woman of multi-ethnic heritage, my diverse professional and cultural background give me a unique understanding of the importance of culture and identity in one's life. I will work hard with you to make life better soon. Take that next step and email or call me to begin the next positive phase of your life. I know you are worth it, and every day counts!
