I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Have you been through a major life change? It could be a death, a loss, or another huge life event. You’re re-evaluating your priorities. You’re starting to think about what really matters in your life. You may want to find your voice and make choices that are in line with your authentic self. It can be hard to walk this new road alone. You don’t have to! I can support you with life direction (bringing in more joy and meaning), grief and loss, life transitions, and women's counseling for empowerment (create boundaries, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, find your voice and develop more self-compassion and self-care). Together, we’ll work to access your strengths and create a life filled with joy and purpose.
Are you overwhelmed? Depressed? Does life seem empty, barely worth living? If in a relationship, do you feel disconnected & can't find your way back to the special love you had? Are fights or a cold war so painful & confusing because you know deep down you really do love each other? Love can last!

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, DCC, CCM
I have over 25 yrs experience working with individuals facing mental health and substance use concerns. I strive to provide an open safe space with no judgement to discuss thoughts, feelings and behaviors with the intention of creating opportunities for change. These changes may be practiced and adjusted as needed to find a solution that fits the unique person that is you. If one is trying to make a change and has a slip aka "blip in the radar of life". We do not start all over, we look at what was learned with curiosity and start again where we are in the process. This is a shame and blame free zone. We are all works in progress.
I enjoy helping relationships mend and grow and helping clients find their inner strength and value to live a life of their design. Through our work together, I can help you move from conflict, fear, trauma, and shame to a life of meaningful connection, healthy communication, and purpose. I will ensure that our time together is safe and free of judgment so you feel comfortable sharing during our time together. You made the most challenging step, reaching out for help.
I look forward to working with you and helping you have better insight into your life and relationships. Ready to get started? Schedule with me to begin your journey.
