Description
I work with people facing life changes and challenges to mental well-being. Although I have been to school, you are the expert on your life. So, rather than instructions, I bring curiosity as we reflect together during your journey. Many of our struggles involve change, fear for our future, aloneness, making meaning of our lives, and how to be who we really are. You don’t have to face these alone. I understand the courage that it takes to take the first step away from familiarity, toward new possibilities. I have a special interest in working with mature adults.
