Life Verse: 2 Corinthians: 12:9 My gracious favor is all you need my strength works best in your weakness.

Do you struggle with guilt, shame and not feeling good enough? Did someone in your life ever tell you that you would never amount to anything? Are you a people pleaser and find boundaries and self-care are foreign words in your vocabulary? Most people tell me that I am a good listener. I invite you to share your story and journey with me while we unpack the past and move from victim to survivor to thrive. My passion is to walk with my clients with openness, sincerity, compassion and a little humor to ease the process. Maybe you will find the skills we needed in the past need a little updating to meet the present circumstances.
