Life is a complex journey that can bring both amazing highs and life-altering lows. We can be faced with difficult challenges, unexpected changes, and raw emotions that our current coping skills aren’t equipped to manage in a healthy way. While I believe we’re all doing the best we can with what we know, there can be times when support from an outside source can help us learn how to thrive through those lows versus just survive.

I especially enjoy working with women broadly on empowerment issues in the areas of emotional coping, stress managment and self care, trauma, addictions, self esteem, and functioning healthily in relationships.

One of my favorite quotes is, “No one knows you better than yourself”. Even so, at times we struggle to heal and make changes on our own. Sometimes we need help evaluating our relationships and experiences from a new perspective. Together we will build an authentic connection, get to the core of recurring problems, and heal from life events.
