When you walk into my office, my hope is to meet you wherever you are in your path, and you feel some of the pressure fall off. It is my joy and passion to help women navigate the college and various adult seasons of life. These stages are full of transitions that can be exciting and stressful. You might be experiencing changes in relationships with family and friends, learning how to process and share emotions, discovering identity and belonging, discerning gifting and career paths, or feeling stuck from hurts in the past. But you do not have to walk this journey alone!

Ever felt that you needed to shift yourself to meet the expectations of others? Felt that your emotions were too much? Led by the desire to make others around you feel comfortable even if you felt discomfort?

My mission is to help you dig deep and unearth the roots of your struggles, so we can rewire those patterns that no longer serve you. I am informed by schema, attachment, and narrative therapies. I blend these approaches to help you rewrite your story and ditch the habits and behaviors holding you back. I believe in the power of storytelling—your story told your way, is the key to unlocking those lightbulb moments. Whether you're dealing with deep-seated attachment wounds or entrenched schemas that keep you stuck, we'll work together to dismantle those barriers and build a toolkit of new skills and strategies.

I collaborate with adult men who are looking to gain control over their life and get back in the driver seat If you want to create generational health. I typically work with but not limited to athletes, healthcare providers, first responders, business owners and leaders. Some of the concerns I often see include career, family, personal identity, communication, or relationship concerns. These issues often show up as depression, poor performance in bed, or difficulty managing healthy relationships, stress, addiction, and cheating- lack of control and unhealthy attachment.

I assist my clients with life transitions, grief, early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, relationship challenges, and spiritual issues. I endorse and have expertise in mindfulness-based practices and 12+ years of Hospice experience. Strengths: trusting relationships with my clients.

It is also a process of building and maintaining relationships with people in a world that is constantly in flux. In my Individual Therapy and Family Therapy practice, I focus on partnering with you to explore challenges around interpersonal relationships, behavioral problems, sexual identity and behaviors, self-esteem, core beliefs/values, and many other aspects of life.

The clients I work with often face challenges navigating life’s complexities for various reasons. Some may be experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, or unmet expectations. Others struggle to process traumatic experiences, finding it difficult to access their emotions and turning to numbing behaviors instead. Many feel overwhelmed by the pressure to meet both external and internal standards. Whatever the obstacle, we approach it together with compassion, non-judgment, and a focus on finding clarity and healing.

You may be wondering if you would benefit from outside help navigating life’s challenges.

Or, perhaps you’re struggling with something more chronic like navigating the demands of being a working parent.

Life is can be difficult at times. I believe that the way we think, feel, and act impacts our ability to view any situation clearly. The way we talk about ourselves, to ourselves, and to others also plays a role in navigating life's many challenges. I hope to come alongside you to support, encourage, and advocate for you by standing in the gap and be a constant in your storm.
