My personal and professional life reflects a deep commitment to learning and growth. I believe our fears, habits of mind, and our history can keep us prisoners of the past and future.

For lasting impact, I have found the foundation of personal growth must be the fostering of a deep sense of worthiness exactly as one is.

Only when we learn to let go of unhelpful narratives about who we are can we realize our full potential.

I am a therapist today because I was able to do the work to re-discover my true self and passion for helping others with the help of “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron.

Within every one of us is a story of anguish, perseverance, and confidence that arises from heart-wrenching dilemmas.

Sometimes, we just feel stuck. What if we \'checked all the boxes\' and still don\'t feel happy or fulfilled? What if we didn\'t.

I look forward to sharing what I know and asking you the important questions that will stimulate change and growth.
