I know how uncomfortable it is to feel stuck.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years as a teacher, professional counselor (LCPC), hypnotherapist, & mindfulness coach.

 
I’ve learned that at any moment, you can rise again with self-compassion—a skill I’ve worked to master—and it’s perfectly acceptable to seek and embrace support.
 
I find deep fulfillment in guiding individuals to reflect inward, navigate life’s challenges, and harness their inner strength to overcome fear, doubt, and obstacles, transforming limiting core beliefs into powerful victories of courage and confidence.
 
My goal is to empower clients to identify and reshape self-defeating beliefs, fostering experiences that cultivate healthy relationships, and enhance overall well-being. 
 
From the ashes of despair, the Phoenix of your truth and joy rises. The Phoenix archetype, symbolizing transformation, rebirth, and resilience, inspires our work. We weave this powerful concept into our approach, guiding clients to overcome challenges and embrace renewed strength, courage, creativity, & hope. 
 
 

I know what it is like to feel stuck.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years as a teacher, professional counselor (LCPC), hypnotherapist, & mindfulness coach.

Fortunately, I’ve learned you can always pick yourself back up in any moment (NOW), with compassion (which is not something I was good at) and it is okay to ask for and receive help.

I gain personal satisfaction by helping people learn to look inward & adapt to life's ebbs and flows & leverage their personal power to overcome fear, doubt, and challenges to transform their core beliefs into triumphs of courage and confidence.

My goal is to help my clients identify and transform self-defeating core beliefs into experiences that support healthy adult relationships and greater well-being.

IT'S ALL TERRIBLY WONDERFUL

.......

From an early age, I wanted to know why I was here and what the purpose of life was. I've since learned that we are here to experience, grow, & expand our consciousness.

Every life has a purpose and a meaning.  While we are programmed early on by many people, events, and circumstances in life we also have the power to reprogram our operating system to optimize it.

Your smartphone updates automatically, but your mind does not. Usually we hit rock bottom & feel a decent amount of PAIN before we decide we need to make changes.

By bringing AWARENESS to your inner world you can begin to cultivate the BELIEFS & VALUES you have to shape your outer world. Every hero goes through a dark night of the soul in life's JOURNEY, and your FEAR is the messenger and guide. From the ashes from your despair arises the phoenix of your truth & joy.
