Life presents pain and uncertainty. To learn and live by a perspective that takes you beyond ego, is to find meaning in your suffering as you sit with discomfort and take a closer look at your experience with vulnerability. Finding balance within yourself is not gained through the absence of worry and adversity-it’s discovered through a process of understanding and practicing self- acceptance and self-compassion while in the midst of life struggles. Let's explore your relationship with the negative aspects of human experience. As you look inward with honesty and without harsh judgement you can find yourself closer to your true self.

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can, with the options we see as available to us. We like to feel we always make our best decisions.


Throughout my career, I have had the honor of working with people at all levels of life. Many who are seeking change, and some who have been forced to talk with a therapist. All of whom are, on some level, scared of the change they are seeking.

Whatever brings you here, I offer warmth and compassion.
