MA, LPC
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, like you’re sinking deeper into anxiety or depression with no clear way out. You might notice your confidence fading, your self-esteem shrinking, or find yourself stuck in a relationship that feels toxic and unhealthy. Maybe you’re experienced the uncertainty of a new relationship, wondering if communication will ever come naturally.
You may also be navigating the challenges of co-parenting after a divorce or separation, where every conversation seems to end in conflict. Or perhaps you’re coping with the day-to-day impact of stressors and longing for a sense of calm, clarity and control in your life. You may be turning to addiction to cope with difficult emotions or to fill unmet needs, even though you know it’s taking a toll. Or maybe you’ve recently had a baby and are struggling with postpartum depression, wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again or be able to manage.
If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know, you’re not alone. My passion is helping clients reduce anxiety, build healthy communication, set and maintain boundaries, and create relationships that feel safe and fulfilling. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and help you live a life that reflects your true values.
