As a woman, you have many roles-caregiver, leader, partner, nurturer-but when was the last time you focused on you? I help adult women navigate life transitions. Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Are you having relationship challenges or unresolved trauma? Many of my clients are strong, high functioning women who give their all to others but feel emotionally exhausted and unseen. If that sounds like you, you're not alone. Come lay your burdens down in a warm supportive space where you can honestly process, heal and grow. It is your time. It is your season.

I use cognitive behavior therapy and an eclectic approach tailored to meet your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your feelings, uncover your strengths, and find your path to wholeness. I offer Christian counseling for women who want to incorporate their faith in the healing process.

You've been strong for everyone else-now it's time to be strong for you. Let's journey together.
