“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver

Navigate Challenges With Confidence

As a licensed therapist and coach with nearly two decades of experience, I help small business owners and professionals overcome limiting beliefs, let go of people-pleasing habits, and set healthy boundaries while balancing life’s demands with greater ease. My approach blends practical tools with compassionate guidance to help you navigate complex situations, prioritize yourself, and build trust in your decisions while reconnecting with what matters most.

Together, we’ll create tailored strategies that align with your values, strengthen self-acceptance, and lead to meaningful, lasting change—whether that’s gaining clarity in your work, nurturing stronger relationships, or finding greater peace in your daily life.

Having navigated the challenges of balancing family, work, and personal growth, I know that with support and the right mindset, it’s possible to enjoy the process even when it's challenging. Let’s take deliberate steps toward designing a life that’s balanced, fulfilling, and uniquely yours. With the tools we build together, you’ll confidently face challenges, prioritize your well-being, and create the future you’ve always wanted.
