As a mom, I understand the agony of seeing your child struggle. It's hard when kids become clingy, tearful, or exhibits rude and disrespectful behavior. Anxiety weighs them down and sometimes they act out. I've faced the judgmental looks and heard the unkind remarks while trying to get through the grocery store. I want you to know that I discovered a way to change all that.

Over the last nine years, it has been my privilege to walk with people through difficult seasons of life. I have experience working with both women and youth struggling with a variety of life challenges including the battle with depression, low self-image, anxiety, addiction, the devastating consequences of abuse, the function of self-harm, the impact of family of origin issues, the emotional and relational consequences of divorce, and the strain of life transitions. I am incredibly grateful for the gift of walking with women and teens down the difficult path that leads to healing.

There are many reasons that we find ourselves in need of help. I believe that we all have a desire for our lives to be better, but many times we are unsure of how to reach those goals. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, other mental health needs, or have experienced trauma in your life reaching out for help is the first step toward a better life.

Counseling is more than a job for me, it is a calling. I believe that everything has a purpose. Even this moment. Do you find it hard to shut off that button in your head? Are the events from yesterday keeping you up at night? Does it feel like there's an invisible weighted blanket wrapped around you? Do you find yourself being the sounding board for everyone else, with few or no people to really listen and hear what you have to say? You're not alone. Life happens. I have had those moments and I have helped a number of people to discover their triggers and indicators of depression and anxiety.
