I offer counseling to people whose experience with pregnancy and parenting is not what they expected. When you meet with me, you will find a safe place where you can open up and share about the shadow side of your experience. In my own journey, therapy has provided me a sacred space where I have been able to transform, be witnessed, and grow. I think the most important part of counseling is building a trusting relationship. You are the expert on you. My aim is to provide space where you feel safe enough to bring your whole, authentic, raw, messy, beautiful self.

Accepting new clients! Growing through curiosity is at the forefront of my practice. I believe that all clients come to therapy with a goal in mind – to reduce discomfort in their lives, manifest change, implement better boundaries, build self-esteem, or become a better version of themselves.

I specialize in walking with people struggling to make sense of difficult things in life. Sometimes the first thing needed is just someone who will listen.

Research shows that when the client feels "good" about the counselor, that feeling is a strong indicators that a counselor will be helpful for the client. I do my best to honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help.

Many of the clients I work with desire to process childhood trauma or life stressors that impact their relationships, careers, faith, and self-confidence. We work together to identify what is working and what is hindering you from living a life you wake up excited to participate in.

I now have limited daytime telehealth slots. I work with young adults who are managing difficult transitions in their life and struggling with anxiety or depression.

Do you feel like an outsider? Do you want to feel secure letting someone else help carry your worries? Are you ready for help with organizing the slurry of overwhelm, burnout, shame, trauma, bullying, stress overload, or anger?

Let's work together to tackle the hard stuff in a validating and warm environment with no judgement.

Are you suffering with anxiety and depression every day? Do you experience current triggers associated with past childhood or recent trauma? Most importantly, are these symptoms interfering with your daily life - are they making it difficult to impossible for you to experience joy and happiness? If you're reading this, then you are driven to recovery, which is the first and most important step to healing these symptoms. Childhood trauma (neglect, verbal, mental, emotional, physical, sexual abuse) will have a lasting effect on our lives and we get stuck with negative beliefs and negative internalized stories about ourselves.

Making the decision to become well holistically is being proactive with your life encompassing the mind, body and spirit.

Do you appear to have it all together? Are you the strong one that gets things done, and is always there for everyone? Do you feel worn out and feel like you've lost your senses, or that you don't know who the "real" you is? Who is there for you? I assist in examining how childhood experiences, family dynamics, and trauma, affect how people form or maintain relationships, and how it manifests itself during significant life transitions, or through the lens that a person views themselves.

I know how difficult it can be to take that first step in asking for help. It's okay if you don't even know what you need, as long as you recognize that what you're doing isn't working anymore. I'm here to help you figure out what you need and put together a plan that feels possible. What works for you may not be what works for someone else. Therapy is unique to each person and is driven by your individual needs, goals, and what we discover in our work together. Using your pacing and my integrative approach, we will find a customized treatment plan for you. I encourage you to include partners and family as support if you'd like.
