My passion is to help people find their path toward a more complete, content, and positive version of their inner lives as well as their connections with others. All the experiences, loves and losses of the past are woven into the fabric of your life today. By developing a deeper insight into the stories of the past, you can find a wiser, more energetic sense of self in the present.
The journey toward self-understanding, and empowering your own best self is built upon your desires to improve. I can help you make peace with the path you’ve traveled in the past, as well as by learning new ways to approach your challenges in the present.
The desire to grow is built into the human condition. We grow from child to adult. And then, as adults, we continue to search for our best selves. As you look for a pathway through the difficult parts, it can be helpful to think of yourself as the main character, or “hero” of your own life story.

Desire to grow.
Something is pushing you to grow and change.
Strive.
You challenge yourself to see or do things differently
Success.
After much effort, you reach a better way.
Life goes on.
Some new situation, desire, or worry pushes you to climb again.
More growing.
Keep climbing. And take notes. You’re getting good at this.
Reflect—
connect the dots.
Through writing your story, or talking about it with a therapist, you can learn how one thing led to another, and how the work you do inside yourself affects the places you’ve been and the places you’ll go next.
Stories bring us together.
By seeing your life as a solo venture, you are missing out on the opportunity for wisdom. The more you understand your own story, the more you’ll be able to open up and share with others.
Seeing your life through the lens of story, helps you—
- Feel more confident in your own skin
- Feel courage about next steps
- Feel closure about regrets, abuse
- Increase your dignity and connection with others
- Find insights into multi-generational influences, trauma, etc
