Waitlist for new clients
Hi there, I'm so glad you're here! I want you to know that whatever challenge brings you here, you don't have to face it alone. Many of my clients feel stuck, stressed, or unsure about what next step to take in their life. Together, we can help you find your calm, purpose, and strength to tackle your next endeavor. In this fast-paced world, it is so easy to lose touch with what makes us our best selves. I'm here to challenge you to step away from societal expectations and listen to what truly feels good to YOU! I am also a firm believer that mental health is best addressed holistically by evaluating relational and physical health.

Maybe you’re ready to grow, expand your awareness of yourself and your relationships. Maybe you’re struggling with life’s ups and downs. The first step is the hardest, and you’ve already done that! I believe in building trust in a non-judgmental, accepting space where we can develop a strong therapeutic relationship.

I have worked with many clients who have experienced trauma as children, & teens and this emotional pain haunts them for years. Sometimes they know the reason for the emotional pain but often the reason is buried and all they have are the overwhelming feelings of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fear, worthlessness, shame, and more. These feelings have them paralyzed, often unable to hold down a job or be in a relationship. I've worked with many of these clients to help them discover the cause of these feelings, to talk about the emotional pain, to help them heal. I offer Christian Counseling to those who are interested.

I help people communicate effectively and build better connections with the ones they love. I see individuals and couples. For those who are experiencing fighting, betrayal or 'falling out of love,' I help you rebuild the the relationship you've been craving. I coach you in opening lines of communication, gaining insight into yourselves and achieving the relationship goals you set. Some couples who see me are looking for a safe place to talk because they are considering separation/divorce; I help them share their worries, process the range of feeling and prioritize their children's well-being during this difficult family time.

You're beginning to wonder if a Happily Ever After fairytale is possible for you. The Hallmark and rom com movies all seem to make it look so much easier. But all these roles you’re expected to play to perfection… love interest, stressed professional, kick-ass parent, funny sidekick, unpaid Uber driver, caring sister, Christmas enthusiast who moves back to their hometown - leaves you exhausted & struggling. But you're also expected to be emotionally available, and not have any struggles with anxiety. You’re fucking exhausted. But maybe, you (keep) telling yourself, if you try just a little harder, you can make it work.
