Do you feel stuck, like your days are playing on repeat? Do you find yourself going through the motions and struggling to find meaning and fulfillment in life? Are you exhausted from the impact of discrimination or prejudice you face daily? Are you a high-functioning achiever, who silently struggles with not feeling good enough? Do you have trouble setting healthy boundaries, and feel repeatedly taken advantage of? Do you struggle opening up to others for fear of judgment? Have you experienced "church hurt" or religious abuse that has left you with trauma? Life is a wild ride filled with amazing moments, and devastating heartbreaks.

In addressing the concerns of my clients, I wish to meet them where they are and then walk with them through the journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Critical to this fluid equation is the cultivation of the therapeutic alliance and a sincere focus on deep, empathic listening. I apply the basic elements of mindfulness, whole person perspective, and cognitive behavioral therapy in a series of counseling sessions that aim to guide the client toward their desired goals of healing, balance, and improved inner health. The pressures of modern life can lower a shadow of despair over anyone's sense of well-being.

Are you tired of caretaking for everyone and feeling like no one cares for you? Do you struggle to give yourself the same kindness & compassion that you so easily give to others? Does guilt get in the way of you saying no and setting boundaries? Most of my clients are impacted by these issues and feel helpless in living an abundant life of self-love. My expertise is working with people to find healing and restoration through empowerment, developing insight, and working with the body. I understand how power, oppression, and trauma can contribute to distress and I work to instill hope.

I always knew that in some capacity, I wanted to work in a profession that would allow me to help people. As a young adult, I realized that counseling would be an amazing way for me to work with people as they face difficulties in life. I attended Grand Valley State University where I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology and later the University of Phoenix where I received my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as; anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

We all have strengths and gifts we have yet to discover. Often, it takes challenging times in our life for us to find these hidden aspects of ourselves. Such challenges include (but are not limited to) feelings of deep sadness, anxiety, anger, frustration, exhaustion, unexpected loss, a sense of being stuck in life, struggles with substance use, or dissatisfaction with the quality of our relationships.

I specialize in supporting working professionals, especially teachers, nurses, and students with anxiety or depression who are struggling in their careers, education or relationships. Many feel stuck, burnt out, irritable, and overwhelmed. Chronic stress makes it hard for them to connect with patients, students, administrators, and even their families. Some may prefer to be alone, even though it leads to ruminating over traumatic work experiences and substance use. My clients have demanding jobs, are highly trained and accustomed to solving problems. However, no one is immune to the long-term effects of stress and trauma.

You hold yourself to a higher standard yet, lately seem to have lost focus and struggle to maintain your motivation. You find yourself starting to believe the small voice in the back of your head stating that you are not good enough. You go to lengths to take great care of others, however, do not extend the same love and care to yourself. You put on a happy face and pretend that all is well, however, often can feel very much alone and anxious. You may feel consumed by: sadness, fear, anger or hopelessness; and even the simplest of tasks seems overwhelming. You long to get back to your old self and find joy and meaning in life.

Seeing a therapist doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It means that you may be seeking clarity in some areas in your life, or wanting to work through complex emotions. It may mean you are working through a traumatic experience or challenging negative thinking patterns. Some people come to therapy to learn new ways to cope with difficult situations, or they may be focused on personal growth. Whatever the reason you are considering therapy, I can help you increase your understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and explore areas in your life that you would like to improve in a compassionate and empathic space.
