Welcome! I will bring my 25 years of experience to sessions with you. For too long, the idea of mental wellness was viewed as a luxury allotted to the few. Someone was considered “strong” if they endured a traumatic, life-changing event, regardless of functionality. Now we understand that those events change the way we relate to everything. You continue to engage in daily expectations but you may not be sleeping, or enjoying things that brought you peace or happiness. The way you think and feel becomes your daily existence and you forget how you were before. Let me help you regain that life or find it for the first time. I have specialized training in working effectively with couples and families. I am a specialist in navigating parenting issues of kiddos with regular and extended needs. I also have training in gambling and gaming addictions and the impact they have on our relationships; but, mostly how progress towards healing can be achieved. I would be honored to help. My journey through focused education, direct client experience and my own personal life events positions me to be an invaluable resource for those of you that are hurting and struggling to find a path forward. Reaching out can be the first step towards progress and healing. Our difficulties can be ingredients for building an empowered life.
