I help clients imagine and create their best lives by exploring how past influences and patterns may be holding them back or blocking their paths. Together we’ll explore how your thoughts determine your feelings and behavior (cognitive behavioral therapy). We’ll also talk about the influential forces behind your long-term relationships (attachment theory), and how early relationships and decisions made as a child may be impacting your personality today. As a wife of 30 years with three adult children, I come to you from a place of genuine compassion and understanding for the complexities of life. I am culturally sensitive and can fully understand the nuances unique to interfaith relationships, family, or marriage. I am also trained and certified to work with First Responder clients. Whatever your background or situation, I am on your side and believe in your innate ability to create a meaningful, fulfilling life. My specialties include working with individuals, families, first responders, veterans, and couples. I can also help you overcome family of origin issues, ADHD issues, trauma, work-related stress, PTSD, addictions, anxiety, and depression. As an artist, helping clients rediscover their creativity is a passion.
