“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

WAYNE DWYER

My goal is to support people through difficult times - such as separation, divorce and intimate partner violence - empowering them to move forward in the best way possible.

I want potential clients to know that I am mature, easy to talk to, and I have experienced many hardships myself. I understand and empathize with the challenges associated with the breakdown of a family. I was a stay-at-home mom with two kids - one with special needs - when my own marriage fell apart.

My hope is that my clients say that I am a good listener, non-judgmental and gave them the hope and skills to move forward.

My goal is that my clients reach a place of self-determination and make better lives for themselves. I want to provide you with a safe person to talk to and be someone who can help you to recognize your strengths.

I’m here for you.

  • I was a stay at home mom of two kids, one with special needs, and I went back to school after my own marriage fell apart. So, I understand and can empathize with the challenges of separation and divorce.
