Life is beautiful, full of laughter sunshine and wonder. But sometime life can also bring sadness pain and loss. Its hard to see the beauty of life through our tears and anger. Its hard to image ever being happy again when we're plagued with anxiety, regret, and self doubt. We don’t have to live like this. YOU don’t have to live like this!

Life can be hard. You may be struggling right now. Your children may have behavior problems. You may be battling anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness, or lack of confidence. You may be a veteran dealing with military life issues. These moments are where I come in.

I would like to extend my invitation to you, and together we will work on bringing back the happier, calmer, more confident, and better YOU.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

We specialize in working with women who struggle with being the Good Girl. A "Good Girl" can be the current role of a child/adolescent or the Inner Child of an adult who filled this role growing up. She has a strong desire to be validated, valued, and approved of by others. She seeks this approval by meeting all expectations to the point of suppressing parts of their identity and emotions, conforming, and/or prioritizing the needs of others over self. The Good Girl is constantly pouring from an empty cup because she has been taught that this is how she will receive love.
