My Philosophy
Awareness, unlearning, relearning, reframing
Life happens, both good and bad, and our perceptions of our experiences impact our choices, behaviors and quality of life. Whatever our circumstances, I believe we have the ability to make the best decisions for our lives. Yet, sometimes we need someone to help us put things into perspective. My job is to help you understand yourself holistically. Through exploring various aspects of your life, culture, thoughts, emotions and behaviors, we will gain awareness of factors that contribute to conflict and barriers in your life. Collaboratively, we will work to shift your perspective to increase your clarity, balance and fulfillment.
