About me

I know from experience how devastating it can be to be overwhelmed by emotional turmoil, uncertainty, and confusion - the frustration of wanting to live up to your potential, but not knowing how; of trying so hard to "get it right", yet seeming to stumble again and again. My passion and expertise is in helping you find the comfort, stability, and contentment you need to move forward . My clients benefit from working with me through both emotional support and proven tools I share which help people get unstuck and make positive change. Because happiness, peace of mind, and clarity is what you deserve.

With over 5 years experience as a therapist, my transition into the field came as a midlife career change, and therefore I couple my counseling skills with real-world experience in business, social relations, and interpersonal dynamics. I know that life can often take unexpected turns, throwing us for a loop. The challenge then becomes turning the seeming obstacles in our path into doorways. What lesson is life trying to teach us in this moment? And how can we be receptive to hearing the answers? It may be the case that shifting our state of mind can create openings and opportunities that we just couldn't see before. My job is to help you unblock the path, so that you can turn problems into solutions - leading to greater success and improved quality of life.

I strive to inspire my clients to see what's remarkable and precious within themselves, for we are all truly on our own unique journey. Therefore, I'm not here to preach what's worked for me, but to help you find out what works for you. I want to encourage you to have compassion for yourself, and to become committed to your life, with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I look forward to our work together!
