You want to enjoy your family and your work, but you're stressed out and exhausted trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes you snap, or need your space, but then you feel guilty and get hard on yourself because you don't want to let anyone down. You're spread too thin and struggle to make time for yourself, and your health and relationships are taking the hit. You wonder "Why does everyone else seem like they can juggle so many things, and I'm so exhausted I'm ready to collapse?" But of course you don't show that, everyone thinks you're fine. Life doesn't have to be this way. You can change this, and it's ok to ask for help!

Let’s be honest – life is moving faster and getting more stressful by the minute. The thought of finding the time or motivation to do anything about it, though, is a funny joke. And so the cycle continues: you keep going to the same job, staying in the same relationship, and putting up with others' expectations. You're stressed, frustrated, and depressed. You find that your thoughts are distracting you, your body is tense, and you snap at everyone and everything. You can't even catch a decent night's sleep! You sometimes even argue with yourself because you "should" be happy with everything you have. So what gives?

Do you need help managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, toxic behavior, focus/cognitive function, emotions, goal setting, motivation, achievement, career, grief, trauma, self-identity, work-life balance, or finding calm and happiness? I provide encouragement and guidance toward joy and hope with a focus on body, mind, and spirit to achieve wellness. I collaborate with you, and help you focus on yourself, so you find solutions that work for you. You will learn how to enrich yourself with positivity and purpose, and learn how to empower yourself to live authentically in peace.

My specialty lies in stress and trauma-related disorders, helping individuals with neurodivergent disorders such as ADHD and Autism find self-management skills for navigating daily life challenges, PTSD and C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, and challenges with addictions. I teach self-mastery workshops, seminars, and a lecture series titled "Roadmap to Resilience," wherein I showcase the undiscovered potential that every individual has within them. I use this framework to guide my treatments, whereby I can help my clients orient themselves to growth and healing.

On the surface, things are going well, but you've felt anxious for a long time. Kids/no kids, marriage/wanting marriage, work/student- the responsibilities just keep piling up, and you're downright overwhelmed. You know that finding balance is important, but you often wonder what that even means. Your tendencies to people-please make it difficult to prioritize your own needs. At the same time, you realize something has to change. Or you may be unhappy in your career. You know that there has to be something more for you out there. You go to work, day in and day out, dreading it. You realize you need a change.

All counseling I do is related to work and career issues. You may be thinking about a different career, trying to figure out a major in college, considering re-entering the job market after an absence, questioning what's next after graduating, or are unhappy with your current work situation. We explore characteristics such as values, interests, and motivators through counseling sessions, assessments and exercises. It's a very active process with the goal of discovering what best suits you, keeping in mind the realities of the job market and individual needs.

People call a psychologist's office when there is a problem, a crisis, something is not working. It isn't the first place you go; it's often a choice of last resort. It's difficult to make the phone call, send the email, commit to a time, and then actually show up. If you are willing to wade through those difficult first steps, it is our job from that point to create an environment of acceptance.
