What I Do
In life we all go through transitions and experiences which sometimes prove to be difficult. At Heartstrings Counseling, I create a warm and trusting environment to help you feel more comfortable to work through life challenges and reconnect to yourself and life again. I provide you with a unique opportunity and a well-tested framework to help you find your true self, restore balance and heal, reconnect to your inner wisdom and untangle.
I am here to help you to rediscover a life of joy and meaning as well as gain deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. I truly believe that every person has the resources inside of them for healing, love and acceptance, and deserves a life of happiness and success. My commitment is to assist you in experiencing changed lives through finding balance and understanding your inner resources.
