“I have developed an unyielding belief in the innate tendency of people to strive for balance, happiness, and peace in their lives. As beautifully flawed human beings, we are at our core good, caring, and loving. I believe we inherently seek out both nurturing relationships and meaningful work. Throughout the different phases of our lives, we grow, change, transform, learn and relearn. We evolve. Change as a constant in life, creates a myriad of challenges. When strategies are in place to handle difficult situations and solve problems, even chaos can guide us. I believe growing through adversity and turmoil is accomplished with more ease if supported and encouraged. Sometimes we need another person to assist us in finding the right path toward our goals.”
