"Renew the Light Within You." Life’s circumstances can be challenging enough for emotional prosperity, but the last few years have been an especially difficult trial period. These times have touched everyone, regardless of personal circumstances. On top of challenges in your life’s journey that preceded the pandemic, now more than ever may be time to reach out for help. No matter what, your point of reference in life matters, along with your experiences, joys, losses, and any personal questions you might have about meaning in your life. These questions matter, because you matter, too.

I work with adults, children, couples, and families confronting a wide range of mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational challenges. These can range from major symptom and conflict management to a desire for greater meaning, balance, self-love, and mental clarity. Some goals we build toward together may include: self-understanding and a sense of wholeness; helping you become your own best ally in health and life; healthy relationships and support systems; improved self-esteem; identifying and communicating needs and feelings effectively; and greater creativity and empowerment in crafting your own life and story.
