Are you a parent who is running on fumes? You try to show up for your kids, sometimes losing track of yourself. Are you a parent of a child with challenging behaviors, whose kiddos are constantly navigating big emotions, meltdowns, or school calls—and feeling like nothing you try is working? Are you a therapist or helper who needs space to not be the strong one for once? Are you in a strained relationship, whether with a partner, a parent, a friend, or your own inner critic? Then I might be the right fit for you!
Therapy doesn’t have to be all tissues and tears. (Though I do keep the soft ones nearby.) I offer therapy for individuals feeling stretched too thin, emotionally drained, or quietly wondering if everyone else got the life manual they missed. My approach is relaxed, compassionate, and deeply human. I’m here to meet you where you are—with no pressure.
Therapy with me is a mix of warmth, insight, honesty, and sometimes even humor—because life is messy, and you deserve support that honors all of it. I am an LGBTQ+ ally as well as identify as Christian. I also provide supervision to LCSWAs.
