Feeling stuck because of constant struggles and stress from work, relationships and family is exhausting. From work to sleep to relationships, joy is missing. You might feel burned out and alone. You might have tried other resources and found they aren't working. Here’s where I come in. I have training, experience helping others and lived experience of personal trauma, toxic workplaces, institutional and organizational injustice, and career transitions. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate place to come alongside you, develop a personalized plan so you can become unstuck and flourish.

I use science-based approaches to increase your resources and grow your strengths. I can work with those for whom their faith is a resource or a source of pain. Together we develop a personalized plan so you can address the challenges you face including work issues, relationship struggles, trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.

Start your transformation from feeling stuck to gaining calm, clarity and thriving. Working together we will identify your goals and what steps you can take. I look forward to meeting with you.

I work with clients and meet them where they are at. Initial sessions can include exploration of significant issues, and creating a plan for addressing these issues. Often the first meeting can be very helpful to getting your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few weeks and then sustained improvement.

I use a client-centered approach. The first session focuses on your story, what brought you to therapy, and then deciding what would be most helpful to you. Depending your situation and your strengths, we start by creating a safe place for you and then work to explore difficult emotions or unhelpful thought patterns. Using your strengths, we will work through issues so your resilience increases.
