About Me

Challenges are a part of everyday life, but when you do not have someone you can trust with the reality of those challenges it will often lead to additional problems that are truly unnecessary. I have spent much of my life dedicated to learning and understanding how to properly turn pain into power, and I would enjoy helping you in doing the same. I seek to aid all my clients in achieving self-actualization through a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to any problems being faced.
