Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost? I can help. Everyone struggles with navigating a world that's often unkind, confusing, and overwhelming. I get it, it's hard to be a human. Having lived all over the world & moved 19 times, I know life can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you make sense of life's messy stuff. I can. I've worked in prisons, with veterans, mil-families, trauma victims, govt officials, celebrities, moms, dads, college students, people like you and me, just trying to do life. I'm confident that together, we can shift, adjust, adapt and thrive. Breathe, then get unstuck.
I am Tri-licensed in WV, NC, and VA. I am an ALPS and multi-certified with over 25 years of experience specializing trauma, relationships, military, and life! I am a regular contributor for Home Business & have been featured in Elle Magazine, MTVNews, Modern Loss, Refinery 29, and Military Times and more. I love to look outside the box and foster growth.
I commit to “hold space” with you and empower you to start living the life you envision- authentically and without barriers. It is my honor and privilege to meet you and join you in your journey. My team and I at Appalachian Life are here for you. We can help you rebalance in an unbalanced world. Visit wvcounseling.com to register now.
