Thank you for taking time to consider counseling. You do not have to tackle this life alone! I believe that every person has value and purpose. We are all made to be great in our own way. When life does not work out the way we intended, whether it is due to addiction, depression/anxiety, or any other life transitions, you have the opportunity to be the greatest version of you in how you respond to each circumstance/situation.

Adopting or fostering comes with many challenges. Families go into it excited about the child they will love and care for, and it is common to experience many challenges in loving a child from a hard place. Children placed for adoption or in foster care have experienced a great deal of loss. This leaves them dealing with pain on a deep level. Families often feel guilty or like they haven't been good parents if their child experiences attachment difficulties. But the truth is that it would be weird if they didn't based on their life experiences. These issues are complex and multi-layered, often involving the entire family system.

Perhaps you've been recently diagnosed with a long term illness or you've had symptoms for so long you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)

You are a highly ambitious woman who has done some inner work, yet you still feel the weight of lingering childhood wounds, generational trauma, toxic relationships, or spiritual and religious conditioning. You’re exhausted from cycles of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and emotional depletion. You don’t need convincing to heal—you’re ready to take action. What you need now isn’t traditional therapy but a transformational approach that empowers you to break these cycles for good. Through high-level coaching, I help women like you gain deep clarity, emotional freedom, and the confidence to thrive—both personally and professionally.

Life can be hard! If you are struggling with challenges such as: marriage or relationship issues, infidelity, anxiety, depression, divorce, job loss, or low self-esteem maybe it is time to do something different. If your current efforts to deal with relationships, emotions, and life's challenges just aren't working, it is probably time to get some help. Maybe you're unsure if counseling really works. Counseling is no "magic pill" that instantly fixes your problems! However, it does help many people change, heal, and improve their quality of life.

Many people believe therapy is a quick fix, or more accurately that a therapist can “fix” us or our problems. In reality, therapy is a process that can take time, but most importantly, hard work. Have you struggled with anxiety, depression, or maintaining social connections? Do you need to repair or restore your marriage? Take first steps in preparing for marriage? Learn how to connect as a family? Find a new normal after divorce? Heal from a loss? Navigate the waters of being a teenager and managing your parents and teacher's expectations? As a therapist with over 18 years of experience, I am excited to help you begin.
