She skillfully adapts past and present life experiences –– teaching junior high, working at Hospice, inpatient substance-abuse facilities and a teen leadership empowerment company –– to help couples, young adults, teenage girls and women address a wide range of issues.
“I recognize a piece of myself in everyone who walks into my office. This helps me zero in on my clients’ worldviews and empower them to draw on their inner resources to find solutions.
“I believe there are endless possibilities in every life but sometimes the way clients view situations doesn’t allow them to see the choices they have. It’s very rewarding to help them become aware of the tools they already possess and then teach them new ones so they can create satisfying relationships and fulfilling lives.”
