It's Friday!! Going into the weekend our todo list can be daunting from everything we weren't able to get done throughout the week. It can also be a time to recharge and practice self care.

Remember to take some time for self this weekend and show yourself love for all the hard work you are doing!

Hey! I am excited to meet you and take this journey towards healing.

A little bit about me. I am in the thick of the toddler years so sometimes I am a little sleep deprived and definitely more concerned about bowel movements than I ever thought I would be. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family outside, binge watching Netflix, reading books about therapy and research (nerd alert), and listening to podcasts. I enjoy cooking and attempting new recipes. I also like home improvement projects (thank you pinterest and sorry hubby).

I am passionate about empowering my clients to see that they have options in their life and to gain back a sense of self. It can be exhausting to feel like you have to be "fine" all the time, especially during a difficult season of life.

I am a huge believer that you come to things in life as you are ready to face them. You are already making a huge step and an investment in yourself.

Let me know how I can be of help as you take the next steps!
