At times, we may we find ourselves feeling unmotivated, sad and stuck. Change can feel like a struggle or an endless loop of problems repeating themselves.

I help people locate their strengths so they can change long standing, unhelpful behavior patterns to make positive and lasting changes. At this time, I am offering Telehealth to clients.
