I feel it is important that clients are given a safe space to share their stories. ​I have worked with children, teens, married couples, parents, and adults with various life situations, including people experiencing homelessness and addiction.

People everywhere, in all walks of life, can experience things like grief, burnout, emptiness, loneliness, and low self-esteem at times. Whether it's your first time or not, coming to see a counselor is a big decision, and one that I don't take lightly. My goal is to give you a safe and supportive space to work on what really matters to you.

For the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Empath, the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing” - their central nervous systems process sensory and energetic information more deeply than the average person. Years of taking in this level of input without awareness and compassion can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, patterns of codependency , and unresolved trauma. Your heightened capacity to absorb information does not have to hinder your personal growth & well-being. I specialize in partnering with HSP’s & Empaths as they process traumatic experiences and create positive change in their lives.

My passion is helping people confront and move beyond stressful life events and self-sabotaging behaviors to achieve peace of mind and personal wellness.

I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, codependency , depression, relationship issues, addictions, low self-worth, and life transitions.

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Do you feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausted, confused, or disconnected?
