I am dedicated to helping others make changes to overcome challenges in their lives and improve their overall health. I know that as individuals are given the opportunity to discover who they are and what they believe as a separate, individual self, and are able to be true to that self while still maintaining a sense of togetherness with others, they can make powerful changes. They can change their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. This balance of maintaining both a sense of togetherness and autonomy, results in a more healthy, balanced person. People like this are better equipped to handle anything life throws at them.
