Life happens. And along the way, those around us often influence the way we eventually come to feel about ourselves. This can significantly impact the way we live our lives day to day. What if we could untether ourselves from expectations we have internalized from our environments? What if you just do you?

First responders and their families serve a great purpose in our society, but often times that service comes with its share of challenges. For more than 10 years, I’ve worked side by side with first responders, having the privilege to learn their stories. In my practice, I focus on first responders as well as their families. This can include a focus on the individual-their strengths, their struggles and their overall health and mental wellness, and also a focus on the role of the system-family, friends, work or community with a common goal to create support for success.

I admire the strength it takes for clients to take the first step in seeking help. Would you like to reduce anxiety and/or depression, heal from toxic relationships, and be more comfortable with yourself overall? I’m here to support you in a safe and nurturing environment as you work through the issues that are weighing heavy on your heart. I enjoy working with women to break down the narratives we’ve been taught that are no longer serving us, and rise into our truest selves. I’ve also spent numerous years working with tweens (ages 9-12) and teens in helping them grow with strength, resilience, and self awareness.
