You take care of everyone else. But who's taking care of you?
Between parenting, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list, it's easy to lose yourself. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you're stuck in loops of self-doubt or "not doing enough". Maybe you find yourself scrolling at the end of the day, completely exhausted, wondering where YOU went. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, or simply not feeling like yourself - you're not alone.
I work with parents of all genders who are looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity shifts, and the mental load that comes with raising children.

Many of the people who come to me are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. They may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, or relationship challenges. Often, they have spent years trying to manage on their own and are looking for more than temporary coping strategies. I help individuals, couples, and families make sense of the emotions and relationship patterns beneath their struggles so they can experience greater healing, connection, self-understanding, and lasting change.
I am happy to include Christian faith integration by request.

My ideal client feels stuck—overwhelmed by trauma, intense emotions, addiction, OCD, or complex PTSD. Many are first responders or high-stress professionals who value competence but struggle privately. They need evidence-based, collaborative care that helps them understand the “what and why” of their diagnosis and treatment. Their goal is clarity, emotional balance, and lasting change—so they can feel grounded, confident, and become the healthiest version of themselves.

My passion is to help people regain their inner peace and happiness to live a pleasurable fulfilled life. Life is full of ups, downs and challenges that we are often not prepared for. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but the what matters comes from how many times you get up. I believe the greatest accomplishment is who you become while picking yourself back up. Each new day gives you a fresh start to get back on track and to have the courage to rebuild yourself the way you desire. In therapy we would work collaboratively to address your needs and to determine how best to meet these needs.

You are not a bad person because you've made mistakes- you're human. Sometimes when we go through things and we don't have the right tools, it affects how we process hurt and I get it because I've been there too. Honestly, there are various things that interfere with our personal success, social and familial relationships, mental stability, spiritual life, and overall well-being. Taking care of these areas is an important part of maintaining our mental health. As a therapist who is also a Christian I understand the unique needs of believers and can relate with the challenges that can come up while navigating life as a Christian.

Relationships, neurodivergence, feeling misunderstood by the world, or maybe not understanding yourself. Is Chat GPT not working out and you need a human? My approach to therapy is simple and direct; you will always know where I'm coming from and where we're going - if you "wonder" what I'm thinking, always ask. I like us to be on the same page with no need for mystery and guesswork.

You've been to therapy before. You know what it's like: sympathetic, supportive, validating. That's all really nice, but comments like: "You're so self-aware!" become stale after awhile. You've overcome mountains and you know that you're capable of even greater things, if only you could get out of your own way.
You may even have this creepy feeling running in the background that if you don't get to what's underneath the self-sabotage, you'll keep ruining relationships and opportunities. You're tired of regret.
You're ready to be challenged. You've made it this far, and you deserve to be appreciated for all that that's taken.

Are you feeling stuck in relationship conflict, struggling with addiction, or overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, or low self-esteem? Perhaps past abuse or trauma continues to shape how you see yourself and connect with others. You or your partner may feel disconnected, reactive, or unsure how to rebuild trust. Repeating patterns can feel exhausting and discouraging. You deserve a space to understand these cycles, strengthen coping tools, and create healthier, more secure relationships grounded in clarity and self-worth.
