Are you dealing with stress, anxiety, emotional pain, or having difficulty with change? Counseling offers a safe space to be yourself, talk about your concerns, gain new insights, practice coping skills, problem solve, and work toward accomplishing your goals.

Feeling depressed or anxious? Having family or work problems and don't know how to make things better? I work with clients on finding ways to bring hope and purpose into their lives.

Have you forgotten what it feels like to be happy? Do you find yourself feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a difficult life transition?

Life can be overwhelming and it’s important to know you don’t have to take steps alone. Gaining a sense of clarity and purpose can be so empowering, but how do we get there? I invite you to come by and discover how to feel empowered during hardships and overcome fear that may be stopping you from moving forward on your path. Let’s walk this path together!

Everything changed with your child's autism diagnosis. In a moment, your clear vision for their future became murky and unknown. And all the plans you’d made were instantly turned upside-down. You try to talk to friends and family about what you’re going through, and they offer well-meaning advice, but they just don't get it. How could they know how isolating and challenging it is to navigate a world that doesn’t understand your or your child’s needs? You want so badly to give your child their best shot at a bright and successful future, but you’re simply not sure how to help them. You don’t think you can do this alone any longer.
