Looking for a refuge from loss? Struggling to manage anxiety and sadness? Can't seem to deal with Trauma or a recent life change? Need to find a safe space to feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered. I'm excited to be of service. My approach Therapeutically, I believe you are the expert of your life and should be able to show up as your true self. My counseling and coaching approaches help find answers most congruent with your values and bring about real change. I’m here to listen. I want to help you be whole, healed, and ready to deal with what lies ahead. My focus I am here to help adolescents and individuals who are ready to deal with a life transition, enhance relationships, process feelings, work through grief/loss, and improve their overall mental health. I am not afraid to discuss the “real issues” and will never shy away from topics like trauma, loss, self-esteem, the balance of personal/professional roles, or the ISM (e.g. racism, sexism, classism, ableism, or ageism). My communication style I listen first, inquire second, and check for understanding always. As a therapist, creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment is my ultimate goal. If we’re working through something hard, expect me to lean in, be present, and journey with you through it. My journey to mental healthcare Life truly helped me become a therapist. My early experience with grief and loss taught me compassion. A challenging journey to motherhood led me to understanding. The many transitions I’ve endured as a military spouse taught me about resilience. And my passion to help others grow led me to build a therapy practice. I encourage you to contact me as my services are welcoming, culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and celebrate all abilities. My goals for you I believe life holds both astounding beauty and profound struggle. Professionally, I work daily to help clients navigate their way from struggle to beauty.
