Personal Life Experiences

 

During my life, I have had to overcome many health challenges and pain to reshape my identity and achieve my goals, while at times raising children on my own. My husband and I have been married and part of a blended family of seven for over 12 years.

 

I am passionate about helping clients adopt positive coping strategies, and lower stress levels to bring a greater sense of healing, harmony and joy back into their lives.

 

I do my best to create a space where you can share your unique experiences, strengths, values and beliefs without fear of judgement. Then together we can design a treatment plan that ignites a spark, and represents healing to you.
