I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.

Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.
