It is a great joy and honor to connect with people’s humanity and encourage the healing and strength necessary to live life in a new way.
I have been counseling for over 15 years and it is still my passion to be with people on this heartbreaking and messy journey of life. Continuing education, my own therapy and professional consultation are some of the ways I take care of myself so I can try to be the very best I can be for you.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself exactly as I am, then I can change.”
