Your relationships are your greatest gifts, as they are the key to your contentment, be they personal or professional in nature. If you lack peace within the context of your relationships then you are sure to be experiencing a similar level of dis-ease over the entire expanse of your existence. The well-being of your mind, body and spirit as a spouse, a parent, an employee, friend, neighbor, sibling and so on are all predicated on how well you are doing on an interpersonal level in each of those roles. Seeking work/life balance, familial harmony, or individual growth requires that we take a relational inventory.

I am inspired by my clients' achievements in overcoming their pain from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, trauma and loneliness. The process of being truly heard and believed in has enabled my clients to feel empowered to make changes in their lives.

You feel anxious, alone and you don't know what to do. If these are supposed to be the "best years of your life," why doesn't it feel like that? You know time is precious, but it feels like it is creeping slowly along and moving at lightning speed at the same time. As a wife and mom of 3 girls (2 being identical twins), I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself in motherhood. You need a safe space where you can work out all those thoughts and feelings that send you spiraling. You're not just a mom or a partner—you're a multifaceted individual with dreams, aspirations, and a story all your own.
