With over 38 years as a professional hairstylist, I’ve learned that transformation often begins with a story. The salon chair became a sacred space — where emotions are released and healing conversations take shape.
This inspired me to establish New Beginnings, a practice where narrative therapy meets compassion and curiosity. I offer clients a safe, collaborative space to explore challenges, rediscover strengths, and reconnect with what matters most. At New Beginnings, I support individuals through life transitions, trauma, relationship struggles, addiction recovery, and more. Rooted in narrative practice and guided by faith-informed care, I walk alongside clients as they reshape their stories — with dignity, hope, and purpose.
