We all need more hope in our lives. But sometimes, it’s challenging to be hopeful when we feel something is wrong. Maybe you’ve recently had that feeling, or you’ve had that feeling for a long time. As someone with a caring heart, I want to help you untangle things to help you make sense of what’s wrong and bring healing to the places in your heart that have been troubling you.
I have experience helping adults, adolescents, couples, and families, find clarity and meaning. I can help you process your present difficulties in light of the past and how your past experiences have impacted you. You are worth it! Your relationship is worth it!
