Consultation & Mentorship
Welcome to 2025! This is the year of adaptation and transformation. Who will you become this year?
We are the most adaptable species on this planet and yet, change is hard and scary for so many of us. We resist it. And this causes suffering. Like it or not, change is one thing in life we can count on. Many try to control their surroundings, or other people, in order to feel safe. I have secret to tell you. That doesn't work. A feeling of emotional safety comes from within. Let me show you how to get there.
I use my years of training and experience in the field of clinical psychology and overall life experience to help you understand the language of your soul. So much of what our bodies and psyches are telling us is mis-interpreted in ways that keep us stuck, or worse, do more harm. Let me teach you how to understand yourself better, heal old wounds, and move forward with the life that you want.
Greater self knowledge helps yourself and others in innumerable ways. When we know ourselves, we can better articulate our needs, set clear boundaries, engage in self care and self soothing, and learn to depend on ourselves rather than feeling dependent on others to make us feel better. In short, we can take full responsibility for our lives and feel a greater sense of freedom and independence. This leads to deeper relationships and greater quality of life.
Know thyself. I am here to help you understand YOU better.
About Me
I love to learn and grow. That has been, and continues to be, a consistent part of my life's path. I've been lucky enough to work in a variety of industries and settings, live in a number of places, and explore different interests on my journey to find my true calling. Helping others learn how to be more present in their own lives and learn how to love themselves is my true calling.
I earned a bachelor degree in chemistry with a minor in Spanish in 1994 and worked in corporate America for both large and small companies. In 2004, I began doing a significant amount of volunteer work with elders and the dying, which significantly broadened my perspectives on life. In 2013, I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology and worked in community health. In 2016, I became independently licensed and opened my own psychology practice.
In 2024, I made some major life changes in order to prioritize healthy aging and overall quality of life. One of these changes was to inactivate my psychology license so that I could operate from a humanistic framework rather than a clinical one. As a consultant and mentor, I can also work with people anywhere.
