Empowering Change coaching & counseling services meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. We focus on the core issues that bring you here today. Some of these core issues are under the surface (shadow) and show up as anger, depression, self-doubt, dis-trust & anxiety. Often these emotional patterns are caused by old wounds that are calling for your attention. Understanding why these responses were formed takes them out of the shadows, freeing you from the power they have over you.
This group is a space for individuals to process, support and receive feedback from others related to eating concerns. Also a space to build community, discuss how family history, cultural and societal influences have an impact on our relationship with food. Please contact for more information about the group :) Thursday's - Virtual group via Zoom.
I want to create a relationship with my clients based on trust, mutual respect, and unconditional regard. I feel that if I can create this environment I can more deeply connect with others and hope to see things from their perspective. I believe that people have the inner capacity for change, and I want to help them be more able to readily access this. This can look different based on each person, helping people move forward in a way they feel will be most productive. I also value multicultural differences and in an effort to more fully understand a person's frame of reference. I also can provide ADHD screening and assessment.
This group is a safe space to share life stressors that might be getting in the way of self love and compassion. We will discuss hopes for change, ideas, and support around disruptions that might be going on.

I get what it's like to live with- Chronic Pain & Illness, terrible Anxiety, and being Highly Sensitive that you feel everything! I help people with these issues along with complex trauma. Connecting the dots to understand how your childhood (upbringing, trauma, stressful events, family) may be contributing to your distress today can be extremely eye opening and transformative. In session I use many deeper brain therapies to support change. Healing and becoming a secure capable human is the goal and completely attainable. I view therapy as a collaboration, and as a Mind-Body Therapist I am an active participant and guide.
In this intimate Circle, max. number of 7 women come together monthly to journal, share, and invoke their deepest selves & intentions. Each time I've run this Circle, women take so much more out of it than they imagined. They open up & share far more than they may have ever shared with anyone. By invoking a sacred, safe space for sharing, introducing thought-provoking subjects gently, giving time for personal reflection and open sharing, we spiral into the truth of our lives, admitting to ourselves & one another our truth, empowering one another to integrate this honesty into our daily lives. Ongoing, Online & In-Person.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to help them reduce conflict and increase satisfaction in their relationships and day to day lives. The goal of our work would be to alleviate emotional distress, control anxiety, and feel more in control of one's choices and reactions. In addition to attachment, we would explore values and ideals to create a strength-based concept of oneself. Significant life changes, good or bad, can also add to interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts and create anxiety. Therapy can help.
In a Daring Way™ Virtual Workshop, you will: 1) Identify the values that are most important to you; 2) Discover how you behave when you’re in alignment with your values (and how you behave when you’re not); 3) Realize what emotions activate you and how those emotions can lead you to behave out of alignment with your values.; 4) Determine what you need to do to care for your emotions so you can behave in ways that consistently align with your highest values. Brené Brown’s work on shame and vulnerability allows for healing on a deep level.

You feel like a fraud as a professional, looking like you have it together but really it feels like it’s all falling apart. You’re a rockstar at everything you teach others, a high achiever, successful in your field. But, if others were to see what was really happening behind closed doors, they would see your struggle to put your own words into action. You give to others, draining yourself until you have nothing left to give. Self-care is a great theory if you could only find the time. You know there’s another way but you’re not quite sure how to get there on your own. You know therapy would help but it’s difficult to make it fit.

Every person has their own unique process of healing and growth. Psychotherapy is a valuable pathway toward finding balance and wholeness in your life. As your therapist, I approach my work with profound respect for your individual nature, values, and beliefs. Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process in which we work together to explore the difficulties you're facing and find solutions that will work for you. Real possibilities for meaningful change can emerge when the essence of your 'self' is genuinely understood. My goal is to support your journey as you move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.
We will explore ways to manage anxiety, relationships, and job stress.

Is your inner critic working overtime, are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or struggling with a relationship? It has been said that our essence, our soul, is ever present like the sun, yet like the sun, it can become obscured by clouds. These clouds represent the wounds and trauma you've experienced throughout your life, along with the defenses that have helped you survive, yet these defenses (people pleasing, dissociation, rage...) may no longer serve you. Together we can bring awareness and begin to relax these defenses allowing more of your gifts, your ever-present essence to shine through.
The teenage years are significant in so many ways: a time of brain plasticity, hormonal changes, autonomy, and peer and social life challenges. It is a daunting experience, especially for girls. have worked in the capacity of supporting and evaluating the mental health of teenagers for the past 6 years. Because teenage girls are both the strongest and most vulnerable of the population, I use group counseling to focus on supporting girls with anxiety using a multitude of modalities, supporting academic, interpersonal and internal success. Family collaboration is incorporated with one personal session to keep mom/dad in the loop.
With seven years of experience in mental health counseling, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological well-being. I specialize in working with clients who experience anxiety and depression, using a compassionate and client-centered approach to foster healing and personal growth. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients in various settings including ages pre-teen to adult, specifically with challenges related to anxiety and mood impacting their lifestyle. My clients leave feeling hopeful, supported, prepared, and empowered.
