Regain your balance one step at a time. Life can throw a lot at you, and it can be overwhelming to try to juggle it all. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness are common symptoms of trying to regain balance while carrying the weight of expectations. Often this pressure makes it impossible to prioritize the self let alone the relationships we are in. Balancing our needs and the needs of those we care about can feel like an impossible goal.

At work, you’re a rock star! You can handle anything that comes your way. Whenever there’s a problem, you’re the one who fixes it... It’s your show, and you’re killing it. So, why, then do you feel so unfulfilled? On paper, you’re successful – making your family proud. But inside, something is missing. A longing emptiness sits deep in the pit of your stomach. You’ve always worked so hard to pursue goals “at any cost,” but you’ve begun to realize that the cost was your well-being. All of your relationships seem to be out of obligation. You never have any time to care for yourself. Unless something changes, things will only get worse.

**I offer teletherapy for my clients in the states of TN, AZ, MO and FL.** Is depression, anxiety, or anger holding you back from where you want to be in life? Please don't give up, because help is available. Many people feel a need to make changes, but don't know how. None of their options seem to work out. The pressure can lead to other problems, like trouble getting to sleep, difficulty making decisions, poor self-esteem, substance abuse, physical pain, or troubled relationships.

Welcome! Every journey starts with one small tiny step, and I am here to help you find your new path. This thing we call “life” can be rocky and scary, but each new adventure can bring freedom and excitement that you are waiting for. As humans we love certainty and value feeling in control of our thoughts, behaviors, emotions, etc., however we also know it isn't always so easy. Life doesn’t always happen on our terms, life happens and we learn as we go.

Accepting New Clients - If you are in need of someone to help you sort out all the things you are facing, I'd love to be that person for you. Life is hard and you shouldn't have to do it alone. If you are facing a tough diagnosis (for yourself or someone you love), a recent miscarriage, an abusive relationship, or even just a difficult adjustment to something new (like divorce or an empty nest) come sit with me and let's talk. My counseling style is friendly and informal. My office is a feet-on-the-furniture, wrap-up-in-a-blanket kind of place where we'll work together to face the hard stuff.

Greetings- Working with families and individuals for over 20 years, It’s a honor to work with clients as well as meet them where they are in their personal journey. Every individual has a story, but not everyone knows how to give voice to it. Healing comes through having a safe place to tell the story, and a safe person to hear it. Each time I sit with a client, I am humbled by their courage. I hold each story as sacred, as together we purpose to find meaning, healing, and hope.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
