To create an environment where you feel safe and understood so that you can explore what you have been experiencing and ways you want your life to be different. I want you to gain insight and compassion for your experiences, just as you hold space for others in your life.

Explore how overthinking is impacting your confidence and ability to communicate your needs to others, use humor and laughter to bring compassion to your struggles, and find ways to feel more in control of your emotions.

A compassionate person who helps people process and acknowledge difficult topics.

Are teens and young adults with big hearts who often hide their struggles and emotions and worry they aren't living up to the goals they have for themselves. They feel overwhelmed with their racing thoughts and question their decisions and behaviors.

I enjoy connecting and supporting people one on one and wanted to create a space where people feel comfortable opening up and being themselves.

My office is filled with plants, sunlight, bright colors, art and soft pillows.

Being a shy, anxious person I have gravitated towards helping others who are hesitant to open up. I worked in the nonprofit mental health field for the last 12 years and recently opened up my own practice, Encourage Joy Therapy.
