There comes a time where everyone struggles with overwhelming stresses, situations, and uncomfortable feelings that create barriers to feeling healthy, and at peace.

Using an open, relaxed, and conversational approach I will listen, guide, and assist you to identify your strengths, needs, and current obstacles. I will encourage increased self- awareness to create and/or maintain a positive and empowered sense of self.
