In my practice my colleagues and I specialize in mood disorders, family therapy, women's issues, marriage and relationship therapy, adoption therapy and trauma processing.

The courses are designed for the individual or couple seeking to show up authentically in life' while appreciating that life is a journey not a destination. We often underestimate the processes of adversity and challenge that when embraced show us our strength, courage and resiliency. Life is not meant to be done alone, we are wired for connection, value and impact; however childhood trauma, loss and environmental challenges can cause lifelong struggles.

For many people therapy may be too daunting, finding the right therapist or coach can be challenging, juggling time for appointments and committing to weekly or bi-weekly appointmens may prove to too daunting Unfortunately since the pandemic many therapists struggling with burnout and compassion fatigue are not accepting new patients. Although these courses are not a substitute for therapy we will explore key steps for transformation and growth together. You will find courses to find your best and authentic self, build greater emotional connection with your partner and buid safe and loving relaltionships with your adopted child.

With faith as a sustainer I look forward to partnering with you on the journey of transformation. " Fear not, for I am with you: Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you," Isaiah 4:1
