Life can be hard sometimes. There are moments where we find ourselves feeling conflicted, overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out. In those times we might need to metaphorically put our bags down and sort through our... "stuff". Do your relationships feel exhausting, scrolling on Tiktok more than usual, or feeling like you can't catch a break? You may not even be able to pinpoint what is even going on, you just feel off. It may be time for you to take stock on what all you've been carrying. Let me help you unpack and reorganize, so you can find some balance in life.

There are many reasons you may have for seeking help. Maybe you or your loved one are struggling with depression, anxiety, or uncertainty about the person you are or the person you want to become. Perhaps you are seeking to navigate discussions about sexual health with your teens, loved ones, or intimate partner. There are a multitude of stressors and hardships these days, and we want to assure you that we are here for you.

Do you and your partner find yourselves constantly arguing, unable to get on the same page? Have you found yourselves in a loveless marriage or relationship lacking an emotional and physical connection?

In addition, I do provide individual services for those suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and Bipolar Disorder.

Are you or your child grappling with anxiety or the aftermath of trauma? Maybe you or your child is feeling stuck because of the past or paralyzed by fear, worry, and anxiety. You want the past to stop affecting you or your child's present or you want relief from the fear and anxiety. Perhaps you're seeking help in the comfort of your faith yet finding it difficult to reconcile with the pain and confusion. You want to experience joy, wholeness, and healing; you want to know God's love and grace. You're not alone in this journey.

Are you overwhelmed? Anxious? Not sleeping due to recurring nightmares? Constantly fighting with your partner? Past trauma and you feel stuck? I can help. I offer direction and clarity to clients with these same dynamics and help them live confident and joyful lives. Our sessions may involve acquiring techniques such as Mindfulness or breathwork, to integrate into your daily life for comfort and tranquility, or simply for being present. We may work together and utilize EMDR to reprocess certain traumatic events and challenge negative core beliefs. As always we will focus on fostering self-love and acceptance.
