I love using analogies, so let’s imagine this: you’re sitting in a pond filled with grime and slime. The water is a muddy brown, and there’s no sign of life around you. This is what life can feel like after hard seasons, a painful childhood, or challenging relationships.

Step One: Figure out what’s fueling the grime in your pond. As a mentor once told me, “If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?” Step Two: Envision what your clear pond looks like: what peace, joy, and balance mean for you.

I’m authentic, open, and honest, and I refuse to be a “therapy robot.” My goal is to meet you as a real person, honoring your wants, needs, and emotions every step of the way.

You’re looking to experience a crystal-clear, beautiful pond. This pond represents a clear mind; one shaped by healthy coping skills, strong boundaries, and positive thoughts. It’s surrounded by supportive relationships and filled with the energy to not just live, but truly thrive.

I became a therapist because I’ve been stuck in that grimy, slimy muddy pond myself. Through my own journey, I discovered a passion for helping others find their worth and the crystal-clear pond they truly deserve.

Your first session might feel nerve-wracking, but it’s often the easiest one. It’s all about getting to know each other. I’ll learn more about how you ended up in this muddy pond, and together, we’ll start planning the best way to clear it.
