ABOUT
Say hello to hope, strength and peace. My goal is to assist my clients in navigating the challenges that life presents to each of us. Our minds can become stuck in the “on” position when we are overwhelmed by unexpected changes or disappointments in daily life. Life can become difficult. When our fear network is in overdrive, we can experience a wide range of negative emotions My goal as your therapist is to work with you collaboratively, to disarm and dispel unhelpful ways of coping with life challenges.
​
Together we can take a deep breath, summon inner resources and work to navigate through negative thoughts and feelings, bringing them out of the shadows and embracing a more positive approach. I believe in your ideas and feel privileged to set sail with you on an Insight Voyage to strengthen your internal core concepts and values. Together we will achieve joyful living and provide a safe journey to a satisfying life. We can learn to accept challenges as possibilities for creative experience.
