Feeling like others don't “get” you can be lonely. You may feel like you aren't being seen, heard, or understood the way you would like.

It is possible to feel more confident, assured, and ready to become the person you want to be. Let me show you how.

The healing process of therapy can reduce suffering as well as being a process of discovering one's authentic self.

The approach I use is effective for depression, anxiety, issues of trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and connection with yourself and others.

One of my all-time favorite quotes is “broken crayons still color”. To understand that you can feel broken and still have value is vital. It means that your worthiness is not based upon the things that have happened to you. Nor is it based upon your mistakes, your outward appearance, or your lack of friendships. The list goes on and on. My personal belief of worthiness means that it applies to ALL and bears no cost, much like the concept of grace. This is a belief I try to bring into all my sessions.

Are you stuck in a picture you created as a child? A picture with children and a blissful relationship? As women, we strive for the "what should be". Sometimes those pictures need to contain fluidity and movement and morph into something that we never expected.

Some women experience the trauma of the NICU life, a medical termination, and so much more.
