I have made the courageous treck to self-discovery and self-recovery.

I know it well.

By the time I was 12, I knew I wanted to be a counselor, I wanted to help others heal and wanted that for myself. Education was exciting for me, I was learning about myself and my family and how to heal.

I graduated with an MS in clinical psychology in 1986 and since then, have been in a continuous state of learning and personal growth. This field of understanding, helping, and healing is still my passion. I now hold a certificate in Female Empowerment from Holistic Coach Academy. I am honored and thrilled to offer this work and contribute to the world and my clients.

I am a recovering people-pleaser, codependent and a survivor (and thriver!) from narcissistic abuse. I understand now that my behaviors were all designed to help me connect and feel safe in my environment. I have a huge heart, I seek connection with others, and I am an active participant in my own happiness. I want to share this process and liberation with you!

Recovery will change the way you see yourself in relationship to your entire world.

I have taken advanced training on trauma, epigenetics of trauma, somatic attachment theory and practice, narcissistic abuse and recovery, and empowerment coaching.

The coaching program I offer focuses on these learned patterns of behaving, and how we can challenge those perceptions, shift our mindset, set necessary boundaries, and change patterning to be our own advocate to achieve the life we want.

I am a writer, reader, walker, and lover of nature. I love my family, art, poetry, a good glass of wine, a good movie, and laughing with my family and friends. I can be lighthearted and dive deep. My inner child is always present, and yours is welcome in our space too!

Join me on a journey back to yourself.
