At the heart of every successful therapy experience, is a genuine connection and trust between client and counselor.

What so many of us are craving lately is peace. Our hearts, bodies and souls are carrying so much. We’re worried and weary. Maybe that’s what brought you here.

Sometimes we need someone to help guide us through these seasons of life and discover our inner wisdom to grow, heal and thrive again--not just survive. I’m here to help you find your way. To move through and heal from our pain, we need tools to feel grounded, to feel our feelings instead of run from them, and to develop a deeper relationship with ourselves.

Do you ever just feel as if the world has so many expectations of who you should be, how you should act, and what you should do? You’re “supposed” to know who you are; you’re “supposed” to have it all figured out, but you are unsure of where to begin or how to tackle it all. You’ve become stuck, questioning decisions instead of making them, only adding to the stress you experience. You’re overwhelmed, you’re tired, you’re stressed, and you just want it all to solve itself and go away—but, you know that won’t happen. Navigating life’s challenges and making tough decisions just feels like a weighted burden on your shoulders.
