Life is Grinding You Down


You show up. You work hard. You hold it together.

And somewhere between the drive home and starting dinner, you catch yourself wondering when it gets to be your turn.

That relationship you’ve been praying for.

A workplace where you don’t have to defend yourself from microaggressions all day long.

A night where you actually rest.

Stress is Eating You Up

Stress can throw you completely off balance. If you don’t find ways to manage stress properly, it can easily lead to more impactful health concerns.

Learning healthy ways to manage the daily stress coming your way is vital. You’ll feel better. You’ll be happier. Your relationships will be better.

Stress isn’t just coming at you from your obligations and responsibilities. When you don’t have somewhere to turn to receive support, the stress accumulates in your body, heart, and mind.

Therapy gives you a safe place where you can learn more about yourself, understand your life at a deeper level, and learn better ways for handling the stress in your life.

I Welcome You Just as You Are


Think about the auntie who tells it like it is, with enough love that you do not feel judged. The Big Mama who sits with you in the hard stuff, does not rush you through it, and somehow already knew what you needed to say.

That atmosphere is what I aim to create for my clients.

Warm, honest, real, and big enough to hold whatever you bring in.

Once you can see the connections between what is happening at work and at home and in your relationships, you can start working with them instead of just enduring them.

You deserve a space where you can finally say the thing out loud. I’m here to receive it.

Stop Waiting – Get Started Today

Together, we'll:

  • Name what is actually exhausting you – not just the symptoms but the source
  • Build language for what you need at work, in relationships, and at home
  • Navigate microaggressions and workplace stress without losing yourself
  • Untangle the beliefs that have been keeping you in place
  • Practice tools that hold up outside the therapy room
  • Reconnect to the strengths you have been carrying without credit
What working together looks like

How Therapy With Me Unfolds

Therapy with me is a conversation, not a performance. We go at your pace, and we work on what actually matters to your life.

01·

Free Consultation

No pressure, no obligation. A real conversation, not a sales pitch.

02·

Getting to Know You

We start with in-depth conversations about your life and who you are. This phase bleeds into everything that follows. We learn each other.

03·

Collaborating on Goals

We talk about what is hard and what life would look like without it. Then we build a planned approach together. You name the target.

04·

Exploring Your Tools

Practice, practice, practice. Homework occasionally. You track your own progress and evaluate your success. You guide the process.

Why Trust Me as Your Partner in Healing
30+ Years of Real Experience

I have worked in child welfare, with at-risk youth, and in re-entry populations for over three decades, and I bring that depth into every session.

Faith Is Welcome Here

For clients who want it, faith integration is structural: biblical principles and Christ-centered perspective woven into the work, never required, always available.

Modalities That Fit You

I draw from DBT, CBT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy, using what fits where you are rather than a preset formula.

Stop On By – Let’s Do the Work Worth Doing


You have been replaying that moment, wondering if you got it right. You have been hoping the right person shows up while questioning yourself through the waiting.

That all changes now.

Stop on by for a visit where we can chat, share a tear, laugh out loud, and in the process find the strengths you have lost sight of along the way.

You already did the hardest part. You showed up. Now, just give me a call.

Honest answers

Frequently Asked Questions


Book a Free Consultation
I have never been to therapy before. Is this going to feel strange?

It might feel unfamiliar at first. What I can tell you is that this room is not clinical. We talk, we are real with each other, and we take your pace seriously.

Do I have to have a crisis to come in?

You do not. You can come because you are tired of waiting for things to change and you are ready to try something different. That is reason enough.

Can therapy actually help with what is happening at work?

Yes. When you start trusting your own read on things again, you respond differently to your supervisor, to the comment that lands sideways, and to yourself on the drive home.

Is faith integration required?

Not at all. It is available for those who want it woven in. For those who do not, the work is equally full without it.

What if I do not know where to start?

You start by reaching out. The first conversation is just that: a conversation.
