Finding Hope When Life Feels Overwhelming

Reaching out for therapy isn’t easy. You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in emotions that seem impossible to untangle. Whether you're navigating grief, a major life transition, or struggles in your relationships, I want you to know something:

You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

I work with adults who are ready to make sense of their emotions, find clarity in their decisions, and build a future that feels lighter and more hopeful. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. You just have to take the first step.

Turning a Calling into a Career of Compassion

I’ve always been the person people turn to when they need someone to really listen. From a young age, I knew I had a deep capacity for empathy, and I felt drawn to understanding what makes people think, feel, and act the way they do. In high school, I took a psychology class that opened my eyes to the world of therapy, and I knew then, this was the work I was meant to do.

For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they work through some of the hardest moments of their lives. I’ve seen firsthand how resilient people are when they have the right support, the right tools, and a safe space to work through their struggles. This work isn’t just my profession... it’s my purpose.

What to expect in Therapy

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

✔ Deep, Insightful Conversations: I ask the questions that help you uncover patterns, break cycles, and experience real “aha” moments.

✔ Practical Tools & Resources: I’ll equip you with strategies, books, podcasts, and exercises to continue your growth outside of sessions.

✔ Accountability & Encouragement: I’ll challenge you when needed, but always with support and care. Progress happens between sessions, and I want to help you build momentum for real change.

✔ A Safe, Judgment-Free Space: Therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are.

The Values Guiding my Practice

✔ Empathy & Compassion: You deserve to be heard and understood without judgment.

✔ Self-Awareness Creates Change: Growth starts with understanding yourself, and I’m here to help you gain the insight you need.

✔ Practical Growth, Not Just Talk: Therapy isn’t just about venting. It’s about learning tools, making changes, and feeling empowered to face whatever comes next.

✔ Trust & Confidentiality: Your story is safe with me.

If You’re Feeling Stuck, You’re in the Right Place

Maybe you've tried therapy before, and it didn’t feel helpful. Maybe you’ve been avoiding reaching out because you think, “I should be able to handle this on my own.” I want you to know that it’s okay to ask for help.

If you’re exhausted from carrying everything, if you’re feeling lost in your emotions, if you’re unsure of how to move forward, I see you. You don’t have to keep going like that. And you don’t have to wait until things get “bad enough” to deserve support. You deserve it now.
