Over the last 20 years, I have worked with children, adolescents & adults in a variety of settings. I recognize that in order to effectively work with anyone of any age you have to engage the client where they are at. I realize that it is important to understand culture, upbringing, parenting styles, essentially the world that the client lives in, in order to truly be empathetic to a person's issues and life challenges.

We all suffer, but most suffering is not necessary. We develop habits to cope with suffering, but then find we are stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve us. Creating a safe, stable, and trusting environment, we can non-judgementally perceive where we are stuck and have the courage to let go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We are then able to grow in new ways that allow for gentleness, peace, and joy.

I am a woman first, so I know that being a woman can be hard. Being a mother comes with a lot; sometimes, it will make you cry, feel anxious, burst into laughter, or even feel beyond amazed. Being a significant other or wife is beautiful yet demanding; sometimes, you never want to move through this space called life without your special love, and the next, you question the magnitude of its worth. Sometimes you feel like you know everything, but then, you doubt your ability to reason completely despite the situation. You notice many people expect you to be this way or do it that way. It all just becomes a lot...

I am passionate about helping others heal hurts and flourish in who they are. Whether you have serious mental health concerns, are going through big transitions and stress, or just feel stuck in a rut, you are not alone. If you are tired of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, avoidance, poor boundaries/people pleasing, and poor executive functioning hindering your life, you're not alone. I bring a holistic perspective to therapy that is based on a strong therapeutic relationship with each individual. Your voice will be heard and respected, and we will work together to help you see practical change in your life.

Holding safe spaces for people to get to know, like, and love themselves in new ways is what we do. We mirror to you your humanity and help you to safely see the parts of SELF or LIFE you may feel trapped within. We created this holistic healing space for folks who are exhausted or misaligned, recovering perfectionists who need to slow down in their fast-moving lives, working moms who are tired of "just managing" and are ready to fully embrace life. Our passion is holding space for the "strong friends" and care-takers of our communities. You are deserving of pouring into yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup.
