Nice to meet you
I’m a therapist and life coach with a warm, engaging style. I work with individuals seeking support in overcoming barriers to success and achieving their goals in healthy, meaningful ways. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion—and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. I see the potential in each person to grow, heal, and thrive. I look forward to being your life coach and supporting you on your path to a happier life.
