You are welcome here

You have the ability to heal yourself, but may need a guide. I’d like to help you better understand your challenges, and consider  whether you need to affect changes in your thinking, your behavior, or your relationships.

Through dialogue and active techniques, we will identify what may be holding you back. I can offer extra information, tools, and support through a challenging situation and help you move in a new direction in your life. You are invited to call or email me for a consultation.
