I believe that the path to discovering our best selves is a path worth taking. Sometimes we discover that we must heal along the way and need someone to come alongside us to help us face the parts of ourselves we would rather not see. If you are at the place where you are ready to face some hard things and don't want to face them alone, I am willing to walk with you and make a safe space to ask hard questions and emerge in hope. I believe that your most authentic self is good, and together we will make room to discover who that is and love them. The transformation you desire is right in front of you.

My therapist taught me how to love myself—and by extension, my life partner, my kids, and everyone else! It is possible, no matter where you're starting from, to have less inner conflict, less outer conflict, and more love, peace, calm, and creativity in your life. And if you’re a woman with ADHD, I can help with that too. Your life doesn’t have to feel chaotic, and you don’t have to call yourself names (lazy, careless, stupid) to get things done. Whether I see you one-on-one or with an important other, I will meet you with compassion, hope, and acceptance. Because we all deserve not just to survive, but to thrive.
