mindfulness coach & counselor
as featured in
I am a licensed counselor and mindfulness coach. I teach people how to navigate uncertain times, reduce stress, increase resilience, and embrace life’s joy and beauty more fully. I have been teaching mindfulness and offering counseling for 35+ years.
Life is sometimes unbelievably difficult, and it is also astonishingly beautiful. It’s not the events in our lives that create stress but how we react to them. I’ll teach you skills for stress management while navigating grief, loss, illness, trauma, and other uncertain times. You’ll learn how to increase resilience for current and future uncertain times and practices to support you to more fully experience life’s joy and beauty.
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

The stories we tell ourselves about our lives determine how we feel. Learn how to shape your story into a narrative that promotes well-being. I’ll teach you how to transform difficult experiences into creative growth and create a more inspired and meaningful life.
“In finding our own story, we assemble all of the parts of ourselves.“
Marion Woodman
Something beautiful often comes out of difficulty in the end. It may not be exactly what we want, but it may be better than we imagine.
