Are you feeling alone, overwhelmed, isolated, stressed out, or ready to give up? If so, you are so incredibly brave for taking the first step in your healing process. Life can be unpredictable and can bring us to places that we may not know how to handle. Even if we go through inevitable difficult times in our lives, we can indeed recover but sometimes we need a little help to move forward. Asking for help, at times, can be outside of our comfort zone. I am here to help you through your journey of healing and growing as a person. I offer a non-judgmental, safe space to talk about your concerns.

We have all faced adversity, distress, anxiety or depression and during these times we can feel overwhelmed and alone. Clients often reminded me that it only takes one courageous step to bring about positive meaningful change. I believe that this is the time that we should reach out courageously for assistance and look for answers to deal with these challenges. I encourage you to take that first step. I meet my clients where they are in the moment and help them in managing their feelings and provide overall emotional support.

Accepting New Clients! Children and adults. Being a kid is tough work and sometimes we parents might need some extra support to help ours.

Or if you're struggling with anxiety or depression I can also help you navigate those feelings and develop strategies to help combat them and feel better.

Not accepting new clients. If you've been feeling plagued by a sense of hopelessness or feeling stuck in life, then what I'd most like to help you do is find your way out of the fog. Throughout my career I've helped clients that have struggled with addiction and trauma regain hope and become the best version of themselves. I take a trauma focused approach to help clients to get to know themselves again, or sometimes even for the first time.
