Whenever life’s challenges get to be overwhelming, it is ok to ask for help. I believe that we all possess inner strength and resilience that once channeled, can improve our lives in a positive way. I utilize a strengths-based and collaborative approach to assist others in recognizing challenges and formulating plans to overcome them. I am a Certified Grief Informed Professional and experienced in working with a diverse population of individuals to help them navigate complex issues such as: anxiety, depression, lack of assertiveness skills, low self-esteem, negative thinking and behaving, stress management, and grief and loss.
