You’re doing all you can, but it feels like you're unraveling. Maybe you’re stuck in anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, haunted by past experiences, navigating a life stressor, or parenting a child whose struggles leave you feeling helpless. It’s exhausting holding it all together when your mind and body are asking for relief. It can be painful to watch your child overwhelmed by big emotions they don’t understand -resulting in meltdowns or clinginess. Therapy can be a place to breathe again, understand the weight you're carrying, and begin to feel like yourself —stronger and in control.
I specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I also work with young children and provide guidance and tools to parents navigating their child’s unique needs. Together, we’ll work through challenges, heal wounds, and manage symptoms so you can move forward with the life you envision and deserve.
Why "Grit & Grace"? It’s about building resilience with grit and healing with grace—lessons from my own journey. If this resonates with you, let’s chat. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation by calling, emailing, or booking directly on my website. You deserve to move forward — let’s get started.
