I enjoy assisting individuals experiencing employment displacement, career transitions, workplace challenges, PTSD related to workplace violence, and adaptation to retirement.
Are you masking your true feelings? Sometimes the way you present yourself outside may differ from how you feel inside. You are the only one that knows how you feel. But, sometimes, you need a guide to help you to explore your internal feelings and emotions. Self-exploration takes a lot of courage, a safe space, and a compassionate and supportive guide to walk with you through your journey of understanding yourself and the healing process.

You can have an amazing life; the life you've always wanted. As an expert in counseling surrounding death and dying, I have discovered that the issues encountered due to grief and loss are the same with all life transitions. This is even true for those transitions that are positives in our lives. This concept is what drives my approach to assisting you through life's transitions with ease and comfort. This will give you the opportunity to create a life of peace, love and joy. I look forward to being a part of your journey

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard-feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.
