The key to a better future is you. Accept yourself. Love yourself..You are good enough. Open yourself up to the possibilities starting now. Whether you have lost yourself, are uncertain about the future, unsettled due to life challenges, depressed, anxious, having relationship/parenting troubles, needing to set boundaries, or just simply feeling stuck and do not know what to do, you have taken the first step towards improving your life. What changes are you looking for? You will learn more about yourself and others around you and will have strategies that will assist you in creating a better future, a clean slate, a fresh start.

I work with clients with a variety of ages and backgrounds (teens- adults).Areas of specialty: stress, depression, anxiety, self esteem,social skills, ADHD, communication, relationship problems/divorce, parenting, character building, codependency, sexual abuse.
