I will listen to you and gather options, a plan, and goals for uniquely you with options to improve your life, your relationships, and issues you have.

Are you struggling with anxiety, sadness, or relationship problems? Life can present us with challenges that impact our ability to cope. We may need support with processing these events, our thoughts and feelings, or help with making difficult life decisions. I provide counseling and therapy in a warm, caring, safe, non-judgmental space. I am connected both through my education and through my own therapy journey.

With over 10 years of experience in providing therapy, I understand the value of providing a safe, supportive and comfortable environment to help individuals, families and couples' get through life's biggest challenges - such as grief & loss, teen issues, family conflict, stress management, perinatal issues, infertility, communication issues, anxiety and depression and much more.

If you’re reading this page, my guess is that you’ve finally had enough, and finally feel ready to reach out for help. How you feel about yourself doesn’t align with how you’d like to feel, and your relationships aren’t turning out the way you hoped they would. You worry so much that you worry about worrying, and you get lost in made-up scenarios of "what if..." Maybe you aren’t sure how to ask for what you want, and declare what you need. Maybe you grew up in a home where your family didn't take good care of you, or someone you trusted betrayed you. Past pains still hurt, and you aren’t sure how to heal. You're in the right place!

Like characters from our favorite stories, we often get stuck when we encounter obstacles on the journey toward who/where we want to be. Perhaps you’re at a stuck point. Perhaps you’re dealing with shame, self-doubt, traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, emotional imbalance, unstable relationships, or an outlook that only seems to be hurting you. I have some good news: “stuckness” doesn’t have to be your destiny. Periods of “stuckness” may present as giants, but they are also opportunities for awareness, growth, & change. As your therapist, I want to help you navigate the obstacles impeding your journey, so you can move forward.

Maybe you're here because you're tired of the same old messages that you're not enough, that you should be pursuing change in your body, that your efforts have not been sufficient. Maybe you're here seeking comfort, peace, affirmation, and validation for what you've been through, and encouragement for where you've yet to go. Maybe you just need a soft place to land from the many stressors, oppressive experiences, and contradictions we encounter in life. If you are here to pursue healing empowerment, peace with your body and with food, or joyful pleasure even in challenging or unjust circumstances, you're in the right place. Welcome.

Broken relationships, being "stuck" in unhealthy patterns, negative self-thoughts, and imprints from past abuse can feel overwhelming, but freedom is possible. I approach soul care with authenticity, compassion, honesty, and a non-judgmental approach, and I am passionate about helping women address emotional pain and experience God's restoration out of brokenness. It is a beautiful process to witness, and I am honored when I am trusted with an opportunity to be a part of it!

Whether you're facing a new health challenge, the loss of someone close to you, or you are tired of old patterns that never seem to get better, therapy can be a step toward health and healing. I view therapy as a two-way street in which I use evidence-based strategies from ACT, CBT, narrative therapy, EMDR, and DBT, to help you reach your goals. Sessions include a balance of creating space for insights and engaging in targeted steps to reduce distress and reach your goals.

Sometimes life is just feels like too much to deal with. A painful life experience can leave you with overwhelming feelings of sadness and anxiety. You may feel that you can't talk to anyone about this and no one will understand. You just wish you could forget all of the bad memories and the things that bring you down.

My most basic goal is to be authentic, accepting and actively engaged with all of my clients. We'll work to make fundamental connections and collaborate to discover new ways of thinking, feeling and relating to the world. I hope to help facilitate personal growth by creating a welcoming environment and acting as a thoughtful, creative catalyst to self-awareness. I firmly support educating and empowering people as a life tool to overcome adversity, that effective counseling is an active partnership, and that clients who are able to achieve a deeper understanding and awareness also grow closer to their authentic selves. Let's explore!

"I get it." Those are three words I needed to hear when I met with a counselor the first time. I can promise you that when we meet, if I don't "get it", we won't try to just make it work. Your time, money, and well-being are all too important for us to just wait and see if we can figure out how to make a good and helpful connection.

Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest parts of the therapeutic journey, but it is also the step to healing. I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families, who are needing a space to process their thoughts and emotions. I think about issues systemically and how our family dynamics relate to how we think, feel, and behave. I encourage my clients to discuss their challenges, while using a collaborative, experiential, and strength-based approach. My goal is to provide people with the tools and resources to implement healthy changes in their lives.

Do you seek guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, relationships, parenting, child, family counseling, or couples/marriage therapy? It takes courage to ask for help, admitting you can’t do everything alone is the first step toward achieving wellness, in a fast-paced, demanding world. As an experienced licensed professional counselor of 15+ years, I am honored to assist you in exploring your core issues and moving toward a healthy, fulfilling life. You are not alone. I can help you by supporting you! I have a diverse background in many different areas of counseling. Contact information: discovery502counseling.com (Private Pay)
