I have experience working with clients of all ages, from young children to older adults. My areas of specialty include anxiety, grief, supporting clients through periods of transition such as middle-age and retirement, as well as assisting professionals who are struggling with feelings of exhaustion and burn-out.

Allow me to assist you in navigating stressors, parenting, depression, anxiety, change, addiction, PTSD, trauma, esteem, behaviors, loss or trauma to enhance your well being, improve coping and problem solving.

walking each other home.” It would be my honor and privilege to walk with you on your journey.
