I am passionate about helping you rediscover your spark and your Joy! You may be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your career, relationships, and other life challenges. You will discover that there's hope even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Let the parts of you that feel anxious, sad, angry, and/or exhausted guide you. What are these thoughts/feelings/emotions communicating to you about where you are? What path forward would you like to take as a result of this new understanding of yourself? I respect your ability to choose the course of action that is best for you.

My approach to Therapy and Life Coaching is client-centered, warm, compassionate & culturally sensitive. I am trained in various modalities, i.e., Family Systems Therapy, IFS, CBT, but ultimately I use what's best for my clients.

Every individual is unique, and their greatest strength lies within. I look forward to helping you on your unique journey to healing and wholeness!
