I chose the path of family therapist, most simply stated, because human beings do not live in a bubble. I believe that connectedness, feeling known and understood by others, has the potential to cultivate wellness despite one’s circumstances and/or history. My passion is grounded in partnering with clients in their journey to enhance their quality of life far beyond their expectations, which often begins with guided self-reflection. Through the utilization of a holistic lens, I work with clients to develop self-worth, to generate motivation to step outside of their "uncomfortable" comfort zones, and to assert healthy boundaries.

Waitlist for new clients
As human beings, we can endure the unimaginable if there is a “why” outside of our suffering. If not, we struggle, spiral, and get stuck. I help people find their “why”—what’s meaningful and sets their souls on fire. Through our work together, my clients feel empowered, know what they stand for, and feel more confident as they navigate their lives. I enjoy working with other mental health professionals, medical providers and first responders, busy professionals, do-it-all moms, and the self-identified misfits of the world.

Does getting organized and managing your time feel impossible? Do you have trouble completing tasks? Maybe your brain just feels like a mess. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted and burned out by motherhood? Struggling with focus and mood swings, or overwhelmed by life’s daily demands? Maybe your child is having constant melt-downs, intense mood swings or anger issues or other outbursts and you are questioning your abilities as a parent. Or maybe you are dealing with faith-related concerns or religious trauma. These challenges can feel isolating and debilitating, but you are not alone.

My goal as a counselor is to first set a foundation of trust and bond, in a less than formal environment. Next, becoming aware of clients' presenting issues and or challenges, then finding subjective tools that are client centered. Clients will quickly learn I'm here to support and encourage them. Through cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and empathy toward clients in their current situations, finding the right strategies for coping and overall success moving toward better outcomes. As a child and young adult, I have been through ADHD and later in life, bouts of trauma.
