Hey you! Welcome to Braveheart Therapy, Life Coaching, and Counseling. Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. I hope you are proud of yourself for getting this far. As a veteran, mom, and therapist, I understand how the stressors of every day life can become overwhelming. Hard days can leave us feeling lost, stressed, consumed, and alone.

The journey through therapy can bring meaning back to life, enabling you to thrive with peace and happiness.

Are you looking for something to be different in your life? Do you want to change your life situation, solve a problem, make a major decision, or gain a better understanding of what is happening in your life or relationships? Through counseling, I will provide a person-centered and cognitive behavioral perspective. This means I view counseling as a process by which I help to facilitate my client's exploration and identification of their needs to assist them in making changes in their cognition and behaviors, which will result in the attainment of improved life satisfaction and self-acceptance.

Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. We all experience moments that leave us feeling hopeless, sad, frustrated, angry, or frightened. However, life is not meant to be lived in that place of darkness. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Using complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will help unearth old behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're ready to take steps forward, we are ready to help.
