Counseling

I’m currently accepting new clients! I’ve been serving couples and individuals as a marriage and family therapist for over 25 years. My primary focus is helping adults navigate complex relationships, both with others and with themselves. I specialize in women's issues, family dynamics, depression, and supporting those going through end-of-life transitions.

I believe you are naturally resourceful and entirely capable of growth. Life can get heavy, but our work together is designed to help you unburden your heart, find fresh meaning, and recapture your true desires. I’m here to respectfully meet you exactly where you are, offering a warm space to heal.

Coaching/Mentoring

Real support. Real practice. Real growth.

Coaching can feel lonely sometimes, especially when you're holding a tough session, second-guessing your instincts, or wishing you had someone in your corner who truly understands the work. That's exactly what this session is here for.

 For coaches who care deeply about doing this work well. You don't have to be at any particular stage, just willing to show up, be honest, and do a little real work together.

Use Your Presence to Make a Meaningful Difference

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

Mindfulness is a practice of living in the present moment to be awake and aware of the rich experiences of life happening all around you. It is a neutral state of mind in which there is no judgment of good or bad, right or wrong.

Mindfulness is not a passive state of mind. It is active awareness and gentle acceptance of what is.

Mindfulness is a choice to be actively aware in the present moment and make choices based on observation.

Some of the benefits of mindfulness are:

  • Experience more peace and serenity
  • Reduce fear and worry
  • Increase your confidence
  • Enhance your awareness of the world around you
  • Change by conscious choice from the inside out
  • Be more present with others
  • Become aware of the simple joys of life
  • React less and observe more
  • Feel empowered and in control
  • Disengage from the drama of life
  • Improve the quality of your relationships
  • Reduce stress-related illnesses
  • Recognize opportunities you weren’t aware of before
