People come to a counselor for a myriad of reasons, but usually not without having tried to solve their problems or resolve their conflicts on their own. It can be difficult to admit that you need help and even harder still to ask for it. If the way forward seems unclear, then counseling may be the next step on your pathway to healing. My clients come with issues ranging from mood disorders (i.e. anxiety, depression) to trauma. They have personal and/or relationship struggles. What they have in common is that they want a change in their life.

You’re at a point where being perfect doesn’t feel attainable anymore. You’ve been trying to live up to the expectations set before you, and you still feel like you’re failing and letting those who matter down. You’ve gotten so lost in these identities that you’re unsure who you are and what matters to you. Maybe you’re wondering if life will always feel exhausting and empty. You're ready to stop the cycle of anxiety and shame because it’s overwhelming. You’re ready to love yourself and navigate how to set boundaries in your relationships.

Are you experiencing a great life transition in the perinatal period? This period includes the time spent preconception, pregnancy, and up to 1 year postpartum for all members of the family. I am confident we can identify and relieve the pressures from an overwhelming and complex season. This unique time brings highs and lows unlike any other. Perinatal Mood Disorder (PMAD) can resemble depression, anxiety, OCD or intrusive thoughts and specialized support is necessary for a smooth recovery. I specialize in PMAD treatments with a perinatal mental health certification from Postpartum Support International (PHM-C).

You are waking up to the realization that the one who is going to break the cycle of dysfunction in your family is you. There has to be more to life than just existing within the patterns that have come to feel normal; your heart yearns for a more meaningful existence. Still, you aren't sure how to break out of the cycle, set boundaries and figure out what you really want and need to do. I get it, taking full responsibility for your own well-being and creating a better future for yourself sounds like a monumental task, however, you don't have to do it alone.

My ideal clients are adults (ages 18+) navigating connection in relationship. This can look like relationship to self ("What's going on with me? Why do I feel this way? What needs do I have? Am I allowed to think these things?") or relationship to others ("Do they really love me? Am I important to them? Why do I feel so anxious with them? Will I ever feel known or understood?"). There are plenty of questions and struggles in relationships. With openness and curiosity, you can find helpful and healthy answers that soothe the anxiousness and confusion about what it is to be connected.

I truly believe that no woman should have to suffer in silence.
I am a Board Certified Christian Counselor who works with women to help them move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck in life to being able to thrive in their homes and relationships. I am trained in emotional abuse, trauma, the effects of narcissism in relationships, and grief. I specialize in helping women overcome the pain of domestic abuse, church hurt, and spiritual abuse. I also work with many women who are struggling with burnout and extreme stress, or who are struggling with perfectionism, overthinking, people pleasing, low self worth, feelings of shame, or trouble finding their purpose and calling in life.

Wanting to feel confident, content, and connected? It can feel so challenging and helpless when faced with anxiety, stress, and internal negative thoughts. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, or recovering from people-pleasing or co-dependent relationships, I would love to collaborate with you towards healing. Often our negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves impact our relationships. If this describes your story and you are seeking a safe place to process, a desire to be heard, and are willing to learn tools and skills to make change, then you're in the right place.

I believe that people make sense within their context. And so, I am mindful of context - cultural background, attachment style, family and relationship history, etc. I enjoy the process of listening and attending, especially to those whose voices may feel unheard, such as teens, women, and trauma survivors. My work is informed by an integrative and embodied approach, utilizing various family system theories and trauma-informed interventions. Through establishing a sound therapeutic relationship and safe environment, I am hopeful that your difficult emotions will "make sense," and a story of resilience and compassion will be heard.
