Addressing challenges in our personal life is not easy. While a common reaction to difficulties and challenges is to attempt to avoid them, it seldom solves the problem. Friends can help with some struggles in life, while other challenges need unbiased, emotional support from a professional. I utilize compassion and practical feedback to help you effectively address these difficulties and challenges. My style of therapy utilizes an eclectic approach to personalize and tailor the therapy to your needs. I help individuals and couples recognize and build on strengths to attain growth and help facilitate change to enrich your life.

Working the last three years in Mental Health and addiction, I have learned to motivate people to develop a plan to change their life. My experience is working with adolescents, young and older adults who approach struggles differently. Each person culture has sculptured their beliefs and how they face new challenges. By collaborating with individuals, the focus is to help them gain personal growth. Sometimes it may be difficult to share your struggles with a stranger. It is good to have someone to listen and provide support to guide us through the process.

Waitlist for new clients
Video on Website Link - not currently accepting new clients- I believe life should be a lot easier then it is. We all get pushed past our limits that challenge who we think we are. The pressure changes us into different people. How do we get past reacting to life and get on to living life intentionally? The answer is not easy, because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress. My job is to help change these factors to set you up for success and aid in defining what success means for you.

You are a mother who is feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. You may be feeling worried, sad, or stuck and not sure how to feel better. Your previous ways of coping aren’t working as well as they used to. You’re exhausted and feel like you’re failing in all of your roles. You may feel intense anger or resentment at your partner or family. You’re not the parent or partner that you want to be and you’re not sure how you can balance it all. You have high standards for yourself and fear judgment of others. You worry that you're just not good at being a mom and regularly experience guilt or shame.

I specialize in assisting individuals or couples facing high conflict relationships or divorce. Both are devastating and difficult to navigate on a "good" day. Gaslighting, accusations, manipulation, long drawn-out legal battles, and difficulty co-parenting can take a toll on even the most resilient person. Many of my clients are questioning if they are in an abusive relationship, are considering leaving, are ready to leave but need guidance and support on how to do so in a safer manner or have left and are trying to rebuild a new life.
