Transforming lives, one butterfly at a time, has been the cornerstone of my practice throughout the years. Working closely with adults, teens, kids, and families, I've dedicated my career to delving into the origins of their challenges, guiding them towards a future filled with happiness, clarity, and freedom. My approach is tailored to facilitate profound personal growth and healing for individuals of all ages.

I specialize in a range of focus areas including relationships, family conflicts, trauma & abuse, grief, and parenting issues. These areas are critical in understanding the complex dynamics of personal development and emotional well-being.
I am committed to supporting your transformation into the person you aspire to be. Let's embark on this counseling journey together, where I will assist you, regardless of age, in uncovering and discovering the sources of your happiness and peace, addressing these focus areas with sensitivity and expertise.
