We, as human beings, encounter so many challenges in our lives.

Telehealth Counseling and Coaching throughout the US. While working with people, I help them work through the process of engagement, healing, and growth. My initial approach is to see the greatness of a person. I work with people to help them see their own greatness noting that their behaviors do not define them. The behavior is unhealthy, not the person. Who a person is at the core is always great, healthy, and beautiful. As we pull apart maladaptive behaviors from the individual, I help people become actively engaged in their own therapeutic process beginning a journey of healing and growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Equestrian, Yoga Teacher, Student of Life... I am curious, interested, hungry for more...I am tattooed, spry, witty...I say these things not to brag about myself, but to simple put out the intention behind Pathways to Peace. I am not defined by a single aspect, of my life and neither are you! That being said, considering we are all unique beings with our individual needs, qualities and experiences, how is it reasonable to expect one to follow one path of healing, typically traditional psychotherapy and/or medication management?

Do you find yourself using your relationship with food as a way to keep your uncomfortable emotions at bay, only to find this emotion pops back up with vengeance after restricting, binging, or purging? Your eating disorder has helped you survive a traumatic and stressful environment, yet you now realize it is no longer needed to keep you afloat. Now what kept you alive for so long is holding you back from moving forward with your life. You want to make a change yet are uncertain how to even start healing your relationship with food and your body.

“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig.

Therapy is a partnership, and my role in your wellness journey is to help you develop into the best version of yourself, by overcoming stressors, shifting perspectives, and fostering resilience.

Are you feeling disconnected or lonely in your relationship? Are you struggling to talk or feel heard by your partner? Do you miss the sexual relationship you used to have or are you struggling to create the sexual relationship you want? All couples go through challenges, but sometimes you end up feeling unseen or there is so much hurt/distrust. I work with couples and individuals to repair, reconnect, and rebuild the relationship by exploring relationship patterns from the families you grew up in, understanding how those patterns impact you individually and in the relationship, and helping you communicate on a deeper level.

Accepting new clients! - Hi, I'm Mak! I have a special interest in adults (18+) who have been negatively impacted by the systems and environments that surround them. I believe that our early life experiences, especially those learned during childhood, often shape our patterns and behaviors more than we realize. This can look like anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, attachment issues, difficulties within relationships, etc. By recognizing and understanding our recurring themes, we can improve our relationships with ourselves and those close to us.
