About me
Life can be full of challenges that leave us floundering. Are you feeling a lack of self-confidence and questioning your purpose? Let me help you get back on track.
For 40 years I've worked with postpartum depression/anxiety, caregivers, people on the spiritual path, moms, and codependency. In 2009, I have experienced my own challenges in life and they have all giving me a depth of understanding I bring directly to this work. I believe people are more resilient than they know. If you're ready to find that in yourself, I'd be honored to walk beside you.
My approach is both compassionate and straightforward. I offer a listening ear and a safe space to feel understood and validated, while also helping you recognize your strengths. I provide honest feedback and practical suggestions for creating meaningful change. We’ll get to the heart of what is troubling you most and define the steps toward hope and joy.
What makes my practice unique is my background integrating spirituality and psychology. I believe you already carry within you much of the wisdom you need. Sometimes, it takes a compassionate guide to help you access it. If you’re ready to move through a challenging transition and create a life that feels more meaningful, I'd be honored to walk beside you.
