*TELETHERAPY AND IN PERSON VISITS AVAILABLE NOW* Difficult life experiences can create impacts on our life that we cannot control, leading us to see the present through the eyes of the past. Working alongside a therapist can help you reclaim your life and create healing. I believe we all are capable of healing from our struggles and simply need to be given the right tools and support.

Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.
