I graduated from Loyola College in MD’s Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling program in 1999 with a toddler on my hip and a whole lot of enthusiasm about helping people of all ages heal from the past in order to create a better future. I’m pleased to say that here, 25+ years later, that toddler is now a wonderful adult, (also in a helping profession,) and I have had the privilege of living out that dream as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in relief from anxiety and trauma. I love what I do! I’ve learned so much about people, about life, about our brains and hearts and how they work, as I have helped people through some of the hardest parts of their lives. I’ve also come to believe that my clients have done their level best to cope as organic, natural beings in a world that expects them to function more like “success” seeking machines. They are “supposed to” think a certain way, live a certain way, participate socially in a certain way, achieve certain material successes… Certain, certain, certain. If I’ve learned one thing in all of these years of living, it’s that “certain” is a myth. Here’s a crazy thought: What if my Indigenous Ancestors were right and we are organic beings that live and breathe in a wildly diverse biome where all of the organic things are part of an interdependent system? What if following our unique gifts, sensibilities, hopes and dreams expands the whole collective’s ideas about what’s possible and beneficial? What if we live on our terms and in a state of mutuality and respect, instead of trying to fit ourselves into predetermined expectation boxes?
In my counseling work, I help people heal from the things that hold them back. In my coaching work, I get to help people put legs on specific goals and dreams and fly with them! Coaching gives me the flexibility to do time-limited, topic-focussed change-work with people from anywhere in the world. Click here to find out what groups and programs are currently available.

Now that my daughter and my stepson are grown, furry kids eat up my "parenting" band width. If you want a laugh, you can see more of them on Insta @2xStandards.
