Let's Build Hope! I strive to create a validating, non-judgmental environment to teach you skills to manage anxiety, overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and modify behaviors. You can develop the healthy life you desire. Humans experience emotions! Sometimes we may think there is a right way and a wrong way to feel and distress means, we are feeling the wrong way. That is a ton of pressure! Sometimes, our emotions become distressing. Sometimes we worry. Few are taught to manage emotions and anxiety effectively and distress can lead to self-blame, defeated feelings, strained relationships, self-harm, and more. I can help!

I love to empower women who have been through all types of life circumstances. I work with all types of circumstances, whether they be relational issues, trauma, systemic difficulties or anything else. I am here for it. You've probably read a lot of profiles and seen similar ideas such as moving from surviving to thriving in your life. I don't shy away from deep topics, horrific trauma, unimaginable pain. If you are looking for an authentic therapist who is deeply empathic and can be "real" at the same time, then let's work together.

I view counseling as discipleship where I come along side you to help you reach your personal hopes and goals for your life. I personally believe that trauma is a mind/body issue and look at therapy in a holistic manor. The things we struggle with today are often caused by past experiences and to find freedom, we need to address that past.

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.” ― Howard Thurman

Welcome! Beginning therapy is a personal choice, and reaching out for help when you need it is a sign of strength. It's completely normal to not have all the answers.

Together, we can explore your feelings, uncover underlying patterns, and work towards a deeper understanding of yourself. This process provides a space to gain clarity, build resilience, and develop strategies that help you navigate life's complexities with greater confidence and insight.

Why does insight alone, not lead to congruence between what you want and what you do? Research has shown that you (the client) are the most important contributor to change (40%). The next biggest factor for change is the alliance and trust between you and your therapist (30%). After this, the other two variables are positive expectations for therapy (15%), and the therapist's theoretical orientation (15%). These statistics inform my approach to therapy and why I focus on your strengths, encourage personal responsibility, and provide a non-judgmental environment and unconditional acceptance for whatever you bring to therapy.

Everyone has a story—what’s yours? Every day, our thoughts shape our experiences, influencing how we see ourselves and connect with others. If you struggle with people-pleasing, social anxiety, co-dependency, or childhood trauma, you’re not alone. These challenges can be overwhelming, often causing you to wear a mask, hiding your true self to fit in or avoid pain. But this mask doesn’t have to define your story. I offer a space to unpack and heal from the toughest parts of your story, helping you transition from trauma to healing, shame to self-compassion, people-pleasing to self-empowerment, and anxiety to authenticity.

We feel pain in many ways; worry, anger, confusion, and sadness. Our past has taught us how to respond to these feelings. Problems start when the way we have learned to cope is no longer working for us. My goal is to help identify thoughts, emotions, and action patterns. I promote mindfulness, art therapy, mind-body connection, and cognitive behavioral change. From there, we can collaborate to work toward your goals and find a more fulfilling way to live.

Admitting you might need a little help getting a handle on your life or the fallout from your past is difficult. Each person interprets the world based on life experiences that are uniquely their own. These interpretations can blind us from opportunities, alternatives, or pitfalls that may be right in front of us. My goal is to assist clients in building a personal roadmap to navigate life and guide decision-making to gain an acceptable level of control in their life.
