Life transitions each person into various seasons that can leave a profound contribution to the individual’s experience. These seasons may come with losses and victories or struggles and successes. Sometimes we may find ourselves in a season that request the support and guidance of someone beyond ourselves. I believe during these periods we need a trusting ally to walk, jog or run alongside us. As your therapist and teammate, I am here to understand, support and empower you to blossom in your season of life. Together we will build an alliance that focuses on your growth, fulfillment and wellness.

When we're struggling to make sense of what's going on inside us, around us or between us and the people in our lives, trying to do it alone can feel incredibly isolating. In isolation, our struggle often grows, and despite our deepest wishes, best intentions and most exhaustive efforts, we can end up stuck. Our minds may race, cloud or slow to a halt. Our bodies can end up giving us intense reactive signals or totally shutting down. Knowing what to do next or how to make the changes we want can feel puzzling. There is help, hope and tremendous power in working together & putting two brains to the task.

Wounds are not to be feared but explored and overcome. Trauma can cause PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, quick temperament, and issues around self-esteem & self worth. In therapy we identify strengths to aide in growth and becoming a better YOU. I strive to work with the whole person, the TRIAD,-mind, body, and spirit, to not only explore and overcome but to HEAL from trauma.

Becoming a mother can be one of the most beautiful transitions in your life while also being one of the most challenging times you may ever face. No one can prepare you for what it means to be a parent. Everything from feelings of shame, guilt, and inadequacy to sleep deprivation and hormonal changes can turn this beautiful life transition into a state of isolation and loneliness. Even though there are thousands of people becoming new parents everyday, it can feel like you are completely alone, isolated even from those that love you the most.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." (Psalm 94:19) There are times in our life when obstacles from our past or circumstances from the present can cause emotional and spiritual unrest. The unrest, if persistent can negatively impact the educational, social and professional aspects of a person's life.

People rarely talk openly about the realities of pregnancy, fertility challenges, adoption, and parenting. No matter how prepared to grow your family you felt, you now feel painfully aware of how little you can know and how challenging the transitions can be. You may believe that everyone judges you, and, let’s face it, you may judge yourself. You may compare yourself to people on social media, in articles, and around you. You often feel a swell of emotions – happiness, shame, love, regret, hope – all at the same time. And you’re not sure where to turn for real, honest support.

Your alarm goes off in the morning. It's time to get up. You reluctantly roll over and hit the snooze button. You’re exhausted. You were up all night worrying about the day ahead of you. Third night in a row. Between work, school and relationships, life feels stressful, and it’s keeping you up. You shower, get dressed, take a deep breath and head out the door. Only a few more hours until you are back home in bed, an ironic mantra you tell yourself considering you can’t sleep.
