If you’re struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Life can feel incredibly heavy, and if you’re here, you might be carrying more than you can manage on your own. No matter how dark things may seem, I want you to know that there is hope and I'm here with you. It's okay to feel lost, overwhelmed or hopeless right now. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can express exactly how you're feeling — without fear of judgement or the pressure to be "okay". Your story matters, YOU matter. I'm here to listen, to truly understand your experience, and to help you find a way through the messiness of life.

There are many factors in life that contribute to each individual experiencing some level of stress. This is the result of any number of unique diverse variables. When that stress becomes unmanageable it can lead to a multitude of mental health issues and distress. I can support and help individuals, couples, or families implement and learn effective skills to cope with these.

We all may experience difficulties and stresses in life that can negatively affect how we feel about ourselves and our ability to live or lives. When problems take hold, we can feel stuck. It can be helpful to have a place to explore what is causing difficulty and find solutions to move out of the problem. I work with people who want to take their lives back from the effects of the problems they are stuggling with. Some examples of the problems I have helped clients with are depression, anger, grief, impacts of trauma, relationship difficulties, work/school related stress and effects of injustice.

Throughout life there are unpleasant experiences you have survived that directly impact the way you view yourself, others, and the world. Maybe you’re actively experiencing these events or are experiencing the effects of them years later. At times, the self you previously knew feels lost as unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness increase in intensity and the things you used to enjoy are no longer providing you with a break. Continuing to avoid the uncomfortable is exhausting and repeats the cycle you are trying your best to stop.

The pain and suffering of grief and loss, heartbreak, and the transitions of life. Feeling like we’re failing as parents, partners, in our work, or in the other multiple roles we play. Exhausted, depleted, overwhelmed, or navigating a life crisis. Or perhaps we're just simply ready to elevate, embrace, and connect to our fullest potential and truest self through the growth and change that we desire.
