What do you hope your clients get out of working together?

I hope for them to feel empowered. I want them to feel they are powerful communicators, free to express themselves free of self-imposed limitations and with a sense of emotional balance and intelligence, especially when coping with difficult situations. I hope they feel integrated in mind, body, and spirit.

How would you describe a session with you?

Interactive, nonjudgmental, supportive, affirming, empathetic, and compassionate. I meet the client where they are.

What led you to this work?

I chose this profession after growing up in sometimes inadequate circumstances that challenged me to adapt, learn, and heal. Having myself experienced the power of resiliency and ongoing transformation, I have a real passion for helping others grow and discover their true self.

Why did you choose to practice here?

Being part of this practice has been a great vehicle to fulfill my life’s purpose of serving others.

What do you do in your free time?

I’m fascinated with nature and its daily rhythms: the sky’s breathtaking tableaus; the earth’s elements; the wonder of precious stones and crystals; how trees, plants, and animals grow; and the life cycle of all things. Most importantly, I enjoy observing the ways people around the world express kindness and love towards each other.
