I am passionate about helping people discover their purpose, by helping them find their identity. In a world full of opinions, there is only one that matters. The exploration of discovering who you are meant to be will be the greatest journey you pursue. Whether you struggle with insecurities, self-doubt, or are trying to find your "why" in life, I can help. I am also passionate about supporting spiritual leaders, as they lead their congregations. I understand the unique stressors they endure and I am here to be your ally.

Hello and welcome. Parents are the experts of their own children. I am here to support the parents and guide them to discover ways to overcome social-emotional challenges that impede their child's well being.

With unconditional support and an unbiased understanding of each circumstance, I can help you and your child navigate through the challenges and allow the child to thrive to be the best they can be.

I believe everyone has within them the power to enact change in their own life. However, often people get stuck in patterns of behavior and thinking that are incompatible with their desired changes. That is where therapy comes in! I enjoy working with people to change their thinking, and thus behavior, in order to help them achieve their goals and maximize happiness in all areas of life. I specialize in perinatal mental health; encompassing family planning, fertility journey, pregnancy/infant loss, pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum issues, and transitioning to parenthood. I also enjoy working with people with anxiety/depression.

Relationships aren't always easy. It seems they start out so good. You talked. You laughed. You had fun together. Everything once seemed so perfect. But now . . . you may feel you can't even talk without getting into an argument. Maybe he just did something that doesn't feel right. You perhaps feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time. What I do know is that no relationship is perfect all the time and relationships do go through seasons of stress and difficulty. It's very easy to get overwhelmed with the demands of life and relationships.

In our fast paced world we face many challenges. Feelings of anxiety and overwhelm can hinder one's ability to experience joy and satisfaction in life.

However, each person has a unique situation that they are dealing with. I would like to hear your story and work with you to identify patterns that no longer work for you in your personal life and in your relationships.

Growing up is hard and sometimes tough to navigate, for kids and parents! Between early childhood and young adulthood, there are many challenges that children face on a daily basis. Often times, daily tasks and transitions bring on stress and sometimes depression and anxiety. Events ranging from separation to assault can provoke traumatic stress in the youngest child. This stress may lead to behaviors like isolating, self harm, crying, bed wetting, refusing to participate in activities or acting out. Your child has their own way of coping with change, which may negatively affect their relationships with teachers, friends or parents.
