Do you struggle with people-pleasing tendencies that affect your relationships with others? Do you tend to put others' feelings and needs before your own? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and often avoid conflict? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the need to “do it all”. Putting others' needs before your own and not taking care of yourself can lead to long-term negative effects on your physical and mental health. I believe that there is hope and encourage others to “fill their cup”!

I’m originally from Ohio where I attended college and began my counseling practice. I worked in Dallas, TX and Wilmington, NC before settling in Apex, NC. Clients who I see are typically having a hard time with at least one important life issue. They are feeling overwhelmed which is impacting most other parts of their lives. They want to think, feel and do better and that’s what I help them do.

You are sick of feeling the guilt, frustration, and a constant need to “fix” yourself. You’re tired of yo-yo dieting and hating yourself. You want the guilt and shame to go away so you can feel normal. You feel like you gain weight just by looking at food. You crave sugar all the time. It seems like others don’t experience this struggle like you do. You don't feel in control of your emotions or your body. Work and home responsibilities make things seem even harder to control. Life feels like a vicious cycle you can’t escape from. This cycle is exhausting and you are ready for a change.

Women, despite being the foundation of our society (I am a little biased, of course), are often given too much stress to manage effectively. We have to be employees, mothers, wives, friends, daughters and sisters, just to name a few roles that we play. When there is friction or "conflict" in any one of these roles, life can get complicated. I am passionate about supporting women in our many phases of life. I also serve the Latino (Spanish-speaking) community in a culturally sensitive manner.
