About Me

"My current focus to serve clients in their growth cycles from struggle to triumph has crystallized over the last few years. I have deepened my interest in expertise through graduate studies in psychology, and have been supplementing my qualifications, and integrating them into a holistic approach that addresses the mental, emotional, and physiological aspects of my clients. Be they corporate executives looking to grow their impact; socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals in recovery looking to build a better life; or disenfranchised and traumatized women and children seeking their place of meaning."
