Are you motivated to change and grow?
Need the right person to help you reach your goals?
Being in a relationship is tricky. I appreciate people who are brave to say: “I need help with my life.” or “I want to change my life.” or “I am unhappy.”
I can help transform your hopes into action. You CAN change your life…. if you have the will and desire to do so.
I encourage owning responsibility in life and taking a holistic approach. I am solution-based and give life-changing tools leading to eventual independence.
My specialty is in relationships. I deal with many different people, couples’ challenging relationships, separation, blended families and geriatrics.
I use practical tools so couples can communicate effectively, whether they stay together or not. I feel the variety of many issues keeps my skills as a licensed clinical social worker sharp.
