Dear Seeker, As someone who realized just in time that they had to get a grip on their problems, or they would keep gripping them, I know what it’s like to finally understand what it’s like to accept full responsibility for your mistakes and your life. Problems like: The times that leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally frozen because you can’t make up your mind. When your day feels like you’re trying to crawl through mud just to make it to the end of the day. The moments that your inner critic becomes obsessed with keeping you down. Career shake-ups, that leave you flailing for a lifeline.

Stress, trauma, and life changes can significantly impact mental health and well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive and safe environment where clients explore thoughts and feelings to understand themselves better, and develop tools to address negative behaviors.

You see your child struggle and you don't know how to help. You hoped that this was just a phase that they would grow out of but you can't ignore the "red flags" you continue to see. You desperately want to fix things for them, but what you have tried isn't working. You're starting to realize that figuring it out on your own isn't the solution. You want help, but you're worried about judgment and labels.
