I'm so glad you're here! Taking the first steps towards unraveling generational trauma and shedding patterns that no longer serve you can feel overwhelming. But here's the thing: you've already achieved something remarkable by simply being here. I want to be your guide on this path of self-discovery and transformation. Together we will expand your self-awareness, address negative core beliefs, and heal past wounds that are still impacting the present moment so you're able to grow into your best self.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life.

Do you or your daughter struggle with anxiety? Depression? What about all the life stressors from this last year? Do you want a safe place for your adolescent daughter to share her struggles without judgment but with acceptance? Do you need a place to come and work things out with a trusting, interested and supportive person? As the human race, we have had many losses and stressors over the last year, and it’s okay to reach out for support and help.

Feel overwhelmed or anxious or like your mind is racing? Fear ever grip your chest? Your mind keeps looping on the same thoughts, fears, or upsetting memories. You can’t get a good night’s sleep, and you feel irritable, on-edge, or not-in-control. That critical voice in your head won’t shut up and often brings its friends – worry, panic, anger, guilt, and shame. Right now, life doesn’t look or feel the way you want it to. You wonder ‘What the hell is wrong with me? How can I fix this?’ You just want a way to quiet the chaos, move past painful experiences, and get back to the things that are most important to you in life.

I am happy to know that you are reaching out for help with the problems you may be facing with anxiety, depression, stress or any other difficulties that are causing challenges in your life. My hope in working together is to help you to get some relief from the intensity of your emotional distress and to ease some of your symptoms by teaching you some skills so you can feel better. Identifying your strengths and resources will allow you to enhance the healthy coping skills you already possess so you can live the quality of life you desire.

I welcome you to take the first step into the BEST decision of your life, taking care of "your" well-being. Life is difficult for everyone but "you" don't have to face it alone! As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I will be there with you! I work with a diverse clientele and believe in meeting people where they are. Health and Wellness are important in keeping a balanced life, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

There are times in our life when we realize that we can't keep doing it alone and we need to reach out for help. Sometimes people we love hurt us. Intentionally, or unintentionally, we hurt them. We let each other down. Our children who are meant to be our greatest joy sometimes are a source of unimagined worry or pain. At times it feels that our life has not turned out how we believed it should have. This realization can feel lonely, be confusing and cause us tremendous pain. Having a safe person and a healthy, trusting relationship with an experienced therapist can help.

Family can be a source of joy and strength but can also be chaotic and overwhelming at times. I know that life transitions and big events can be challenging for individuals and that sometimes having an outside resource to talk to can be helpful. If you are struggling to start a family, dealing with pregnancy/postpartum related mental health concerns, pursuing kinship care/foster care/adoption, or working to overcome a traumatic experience, I would love to connect and see if I can assist you in reaching your goals.
