I have worked with the chronically mentally ill population; counseled children, teens and their families in homes and schools; helped patients and their families cope with terminal illnesses and death in hospice; and worked in home health and private practice.
Sometimes, in order to reach God's full potential for us, we need a little help along the way. To be encouraged, motivated, empowered, and reminded of how strong and courageous we are. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11. I truly believe this! I am beyond blessed and grateful to be able to counsel anyone who is struggling, lost, broken, or just a little bit off-balance. I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, validation, and on improving self awareness, insight, self esteem, and assertiveness.

The stress is overwhelming. Anxiety is at an all time high. Life is unpredictable and you don’t know how to cope with work, the kids, their school, and being quarantined. The desire to run from your house and not return has crossed your mind, but you dig deep and tell yourself today will be better. But it isn’t. The anxiety feels like it is going to explode from your chest. It starts settling into depression and you feel like you are walking in a fog. Unable to make decisions, not able to complete tasks, feeling frustrated and annoyed all the time. You just want life to be back to normal and it feels like there is no end in sight.

As we walk through life it may feel as if we have the world on our shoulders. We begin, for example, to feel stuck, lost, tired, and lonely. So it feels as if there is no way to free ourselves. In order to shield ourselves from the pain caused by the world around us we become closed off and distant from others and ourselves. This is when we build our barrier around us and don't reach out.

Hi, I'm Harley. I understand what it’s like to struggle with sleep, battle anxiety, and feel caught in shame spirals. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma. If you live with a harsh inner critic and find yourself triggered in everyday interactions, I want you to know you’re not alone. These feelings and actions are trauma responses, and with the right support, they can be transformed. It can feel isolating, lonely, and hopeless, but there is hope. Together, we can compassionately work to unlearn these responses and build a life that feels safer and more fulfilling.
