I am a mom, a grandma, a widow, a therapist, an advocate, and author and a deep thinker. I am a bit of a comedian and a bit of a rebel. I am a woman with multiple disabilities who doesn’t let anything stop me.
I own a home in Portland, Oregon. I operate a thriving therapy practice in which I encourage clients to find their voices and speak up for themselves, get what they need and feel good about it.
I have been where you are. I have been deeply unhappy, happy for bad reasons and even happy for good reasons. Through the Happy For No Reason model for finding and maintaining true and lasting happiness I have discovered that I can be happy in spite of my circumstances. This is the definition of “Happy for no reason.” The key to overcoming unhappiness is changing your core beliefs, thoughts, habits and behaviors.
