We all have a story. It is a story we have been telling our whole lives. We add to this story with each new encounter and context. Sometimes our stories get warped by any number of life factors, and we can lose our sense of self. I see therapy as an opportunity to unravel and examine the story of you, to get to the “why” of you.

It’s hard being a woman these days. Being a mother, a wife, and working full-time is not easy. You may feel burdened with household chores without receiving little to no recognition from your partner or family. While you work hard and are good at what you do inside, you feel low due to past hurts or failed relationships. I want you to know, that You are Worthy. My role is to help you navigate through your life’s challenges. Whether it is work, school, motherhood, relationships, or resolving the past, it does not matter. I will empower you to speak up without fear of how others may respond and help you to stop suffering in silence.

I am an individual therapist with experience working with children, adults, and families of all ages, diagnoses, and socioeconomic status. I am passionate about eliminating stigma around mental health needs and receiving services. I have found that is important to not only meet clients where they're at but to also give them the tools to change where they're at. I have noticed that my clients are most successful when they are transparent about their needs and are willing to put forth the effort to change their lives.

Let's face it, life can feel really dark at times. Everyone struggles with unwanted thoughts and feelings that seem to plague them. Everyone struggles with relationship conflict at some point in their lives. Most people believe that they are alone in their struggles, and they often believe that there is no answer and no way out. All of us want happy and peaceful lives with safe and nurturing relationships, but we often don't know how to create this kind of life. The good news is that these things are within your reach, if you are willing and ready to work hard to challenge yourself.

Right now, life may feel hard. You’ve faced many challenges that seemed to have come out of nowhere, and you're constantly doing your best to navigate through them. You struggle to set healthy boundaries and often feel overwhelmed. Asking for help isn't always easy. You may say to yourself, “What will people think? I can figure it out on my own.” It’s tough because you usually go at it alone, carrying the load and bearing the burden. However, deep down inside, you know that something isn't quite right and that you could use some support. Does this sound familiar?

I’ve seen many couples ranging from newly married to empty nesters, both struggling with the same thing — feeling like they are a million miles apart from the person they love. Resentment, anger, and frustration cloud your ability to see your partner clearly and remember why you chose each other in the first place! We then find ways to protect ourselves from the potential hurt or rejection from our partners. We shut down or lash out because we’ve run out of ways to say “I want to be close to you”. What else happens? Well, we end up pushing our partner away, creating even more distance and less safety. This is where I come in.

I have years of experience working with youth, adolescents and their families dealing with a range of issues from juvenile delinquency, substance abuse and trauma. I have developed professionalism and discipline form my time in the U.S. Army, and have extensive experience in education and coaching. I have spent years helping youth academically, athletically and socially. I have worked with the offender populations and have demonstrated a safe and caring space for this marginalized group. In addition, I have worked with victims of abuse, and have created a safe, caring empathetic place for them to process their concerns. My experience has allowed me to develop the unique ability to bridge the gap between, offender/victim, teacher/student, caregiver/child, felon/community and individual/system. If you are in need of culturally competent, evidenced based treatment, with a focus on solutions, and a balanced approach of love and logic, faith and fact then look no further.
