If change, balance, and peace were easy to find you would have found them already.

I help people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, a prenatal/postpartum phase of life, faith transition, and individuals and couples looking to improve and clarify their relationships. I would be honored to work with you during a life transition.

Throughout our lives, the events we experience distort, crack, and chip away at the lens through which we see the world. These distortions could be serious fissures and created by a single incident or they could be many minor chips created over years of toxic experience or chronic stress. Our views and the distortions in that lens inherently alter the way in which we interact with the world. My goal is to serve as a guide to help you heal and reshape that lens, thus improving overall wellbeing and interactions with the world.

You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

You’ve been through some tough stuff. Talking about it hasn’t brought you the relief you hoped. You’re still feeling on edge, waiting for the next bad thing to happen. In your head, you know you’re safe now, but there’s a part of you that still doesn’t really believe that. Worst of all, sometimes you can't even explain or understand all the feelings yet something is getting in the way of you trusting and connecting with others. You try to get on with your life the best you can, powering through the discomfort that comes up. But something is happening in your body and mind that just doesn't make sense. You question, Am I broken

A wise person I know once said - Emotional support doesn't have to come at the expense of problem solving, but it does need to come before problem solving. Why? Because triggered brains aren't meant to think straight. They're meant to find safety. - Because of this, I strive to create an environment where clients can explore both the internal, as well as the external issues in their life. So, If you are looking for emotional support, but also wanting to get down to work, I am happy to help. Whether it's about the challenges caused by life events, difficult relationship dynamics, or personal struggles, you can emerge resilient.

Seeking a counselor can be a difficult and sometimes arduous task. It takes courage to look deeply at yourself and observe the patterns of thoughts and behaviors that may be creating obstacles to living a more satisfying life. You can experience freedom from self-limiting beliefs, shame, anxiety, self-doubt and fear. You can live with greater intention, self-acceptance, interpersonal effectiveness and joy. I come from a Christian perspective and integrate this into my work with clients with similar beliefs.

You don't really like to talk about your childhood or maybe you don't even remember a lot of it. You know parts were bad, the fights, addictions, mental illness, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, maybe even the death of a loved one. You try to put it behind you but you struggle in your marriage and yell at the kids. Holidays are hard, and sometimes you wonder if it's even worth living. You overcompensate or try to be invisible, because that's how you learned to survive. You suffer from a sense of not being worthy or enough, but it doesn't have to be like that. Life can be good. You ARE worthy and you ARE enough.
