Have you been lacking the support you need, support without judgement or criticism, and the support you likely have not gotten in the past? I work with my clients using my whole heart as you are likely seeking help due to suffering from adverse childhood experiences, large or small, that continue to impact you today. Trauma rears itself in our daily lives. It becomes the template to which we experience the world. You no longer have to live that way. Let me walk with you.

If you are dealing with a health issue that has changed your life or are caring for someone with cancer or a serious illness, you don't have to do it alone. Dealing with an illness is a whole person, whole family event and can be an emotional rollercoaster.

With more than twenty years of experience working in the cancer community and helping people facing illness, I can help you discover your path through this experience.

I am passionate about helping individuals and families reach their unique, personal goals. I believe a client grows best when there is a positive therapeutic relationship built in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere.

The ability to visualize their desired outcome is an important part of the therapeutic journey for clients and is key in the redevelopment of their personal identity.
