Great to meet you!

It is my passion, mission, and joy to witness others expand. I've gotten to experience this fulfillment and grow this skill with over 20 years combined experience beginning on suicide prevention, community, and DV hotlines, in hospitals & clinics, all levels of treatment centers, palliative and hospice home care, along with extensive education, certification, & training. Along the way, I have learned and loved to coach, advocate, educate, counsel, & inspire healing. As always, let's keep growing together.

My approach to therapy

You and I create what works best. Styles may be focused or combined. Let's share about what works throughout with transparency and directness. You know you best intuitively and I'm there to assist you see it more clearly and consistently. If my goals are met, you'll learn to listen to you, act from your highest values, and to be your highest, most authentic, version of yourself- without me anymore. What are your next goals?

What you can expect from me

You are already perfect, whole, and complete now, as you are. You are already worthy, enough, and you matter. Going for therapy doesn’t negate that. Yet, it will help you to truly see, feel, and know it more deeply. Therapy doesn’t give you any more value; as you already innately 100% have it, just for existing here on earth. Yet, it may inspire you to act more from that valuable space and to see aligned actions fruit from it. Therapy, or I, won’t do the work for you. Yet, it could crystallize your clarity, understanding, and motivation so that you supersede and excel towards your true goals, desires, and full beingness; yourself.

Who are you with a spark in your eye, with choice, more control, drive in your soul, feeling empowered, and truly knowing and being your fully expressed, highest version of your authentic self? Let's completely clear, create, and see where a new path will flow.
