Historically, you've succeeded at just about everything you do. But whether you are a senior executive, a professional athlete, or a stay-at-home mom, we all eventually hit a wall. The anxiety becomes intense enough that we think others are starting to notice. The depression gets harder to beat on our own. Someone uses the word "addiction" for the first time. We all want to excel at work and feel connected at home, but sometimes we just feel stuck.

“Change is the only constant in life”. Your job, age, environment, relationships, etc. are constantly changing. Often this change brings with it stress, anxiety, confusion, etc. It is so easy for a major life transition to unearth old wounds or magnify unhelpful patterns. This can be incredibly overwhelming, and you don’t need to face it alone. I desire to create a space where you can be authentic and assured that your vulnerability will be engaged with the utmost respect. My goal is for you to experience the freedom that comes through counseling and processing life circumstances together.

Did you spend another day triggered by an unexpected situation and feeling overwhelmed by your emotional response? Meanwhile, your inner critic is heckling you that “you’re not enough” or “you’re too much.” Next thing you know you’re in a bad mood and just want to hide under a fort of blankets while eating comforting snacks. You dream of a day when the past isn’t constantly tapping on your shoulder; when you’re in control of your emotions - instead of your emotions being in control of you; and your inner critic isn’t always shouting so loud. You’re longing to feel calm, confident, and compassionate towards yourself and others.
