Many people start therapy when life begins to feel harder than it should. Stress at work, health changes, caregiving, relationship strain, or burnout can leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure about what to do next.
I work with adults who carry a lot of responsibility but feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck inside. In therapy, we slow things down and make space to understand what your mind and body are telling you.
Together we look at patterns that increase stress and build practical tools to help you manage anxiety, set healthy boundaries, and move through life changes with more confidence.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

Neurofeedback coming soon! You understand your patterns, but still feel stuck. Insight alone hasn't been enough. It definitely doesn't change your nervous systems response to stress! I help clients manage anxiety, depression, build self-esteem, regulate emotions, process trauma & improve relationships. I've added Neurofeedback (NFB), a non-invasive technique where sensors on the scalp monitor brain activity and provide real-time feedback to encourage healthier brain patterns. NFB doesn't replace your current therapy work; it complements it by training the brain in regulation, supporting emotional balance beyond talk therapy's focus.

What once brought comfort may now bring sadness, irritability, or a sense of disconnect. An empty chair, a song, or the pressure to be okay can hit unexpectedly. You’re trying to manage work, family, and daily life while feeling overwhelmed or alone. Many of my clients hold a lot for others while silently carrying their own pain and simply want a space where their grief feels understood and supported.
