"An Awakened Heart," is the result of love and dedication in wanting to professionally serve others in their desire toward psychological well being. Utilizing a holistic psycho therapeutic approach, specific to individual need, the work lends toward a more whole and integrated sense of being. With a purposeful focus on self worth, and inherent value, the vision is to bring forth the best of whom we truly are, despite challenge, adversity, fear, and the emotional pain we so often identify with. My area of focus is in serving Individuals, Couples, teens and elders. Working from a transpersonal framework. my work with individuals seeks to address challenging issues ranging from codependent behavior, drug and alcohol abuse, depression and anxiety, to physical and emotional trauma of abuse and its relationship to shock. 

Employing Strength Based Perspectives, I believe that investing in the potential of others builds upon assets that turn "deficits" into strengths. With a tender heart, skill, knowledge, and expertise it is my profound desire to facilitate the type of change that increases every opportunity to experience personal success.
