Life is a journey that can sometimes be filled with challenges, adversity, hardships, and heartache. Life’s challenges can test emotions, thoughts, strengths, and weaknesses. I hope to give you the tools needed to overcome the difficulties you may face throughout your journey. I strive to offer compassion, encouragement, empowerment, and support. I’m also a firm believer that building a trusting relationship in a safe environment is key to effective intervention.
