Some things feel too heavy to say out loud, too complicated, too messy, or too risky to share. But carrying it alone isn’t working either. Whether it’s past trauma, cycles you’re trying to break, or emotions you can’t quite make sense of, you’re ready to face it. You want real change, not just surface-level fixes. If you're prepared to put in the work, I’m ready to meet you there.

Life can be a rollercoaster ride and there are times when we experience tough moments or frustration. Managing those situations and emotions can be challenging. In life we are taught how to do many tasks and skills but when was the last time someone taught you how to deal with your emotions? My goal is to help you learn how to identify those emotions, learn how to cope, and work through your problems to build your emotional toolbox. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to who will truly listen without judgment and offer support. That is where I am able to assist. I am able to provide either faith-based or secular counseling.
