We all have potential for change and, sometimes, need a guide through the obstacles that stand in our way. These obstacles include fears and worrying, self-doubt, unresolved healing from past trauma, and being "stuck" in the past or self-sabotaging patterns. Whether your goal is to overcome fears, get "unstuck", "reset" self-defeating patterns, or learn to enjoy life again, we can make this happen together. My primary goals are to listen, understand, challenge, and help you gain a new perspective on your situation. I work with motivated adults who want to improve their relationships, work performance, and social lives.

Burned out and overwhelmed from taking care of everyone around you? It's a familiar story to many women, particularly if your job already involves keeping everyone else happy and well (here's looking at you, doctors, nurses, teachers, and moms!). You may find yourself feeling depressed, overthinking things, and never quite sure what "self care" means. That makes sense, with so much on your plate! In a perfect world, you'd be able to manage all of The Everything, maintain great relationships, and still find time for yourself. But, things are feeling far from perfect. And that's what brings you here.

"You are not a drop in the ocean.You are the entire ocean in a drop."- Rumi -There are times in life where we begin to feel insignificant, overwhelmed and overtired due to all the burden on our shoulders and minds, which leads to experiencing anxiety, depression, sadness and other life altering mental health changes.
