Everyone has gifts they were born with. Through various therapeutic modalities including expressive art therapy and mindfulness, I help guide individuals through an inward self exploration of these gifts. I will also help you to clarify and work towards your "best life," that is visioning your ideal work-life, relationship-life, family-life and social-life.

Do you feel like lack of social confidence, anxiety, and poor social skills are keeping you back at work? Or maybe you are just starting your career and selecting jobs that won't require talking much to others or socializing, because you just feel so anxious even thinking about that. Do you dread group work, social events, speaking out in meetings, parties and networking? I have good news for you! Social confidence is a learned skill, one you can learn just like any other. You just need the right information, some support and feedback and the drive to try some new things. The rewards are potentially very large, especially at work. Level up your career and your life!

Finding a career that works for you is more than a job, it is about finding what lights you up, what motivates you, what you feel confident in, where you feel most free to be yourself. Or perhaps it is finding a path that fits with your lifestyle. Often we feel stuck, creatively blocked or trapped and cannot see a way out or a way to transition or we might struggle with not feeling good enough or confusion. I am here to support you through all these feelings, to work with you to find hope for the future and your potential in it.
