What I Do
​
How often do we long for a sense of belonging and wholeness – a solid connection to ourselves and to the ones we love? Life is all about relationships, starting with our birth or adoptive family, and broadening as we grow. But there’s no manual or one-size-fits-all solution for how to navigate the journey. I am here to offer a safe place where you can bring things that you are worried or wondering about as well as things that are causing you and/or your loved ones pain and distress. I bring my presence, my expertise, and a lifetime of experience to our work together and my approach is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and individualized.
