I am a marriage and family therapist that integrates faith, hope, and practical tools into everyday life. YourTango allows me to use my knowledge as a therapist to open up on a personal level, sharing my own experiences, and show that even therapists make mistakes and are still learning too!
In my professional life, I partner with adults and teens needing help with anxiety, motivation, relationships, dating, rejection, and depression. I help people explore the roots of their hurts and how this affects everyday life.
My latest project has been creating workbooks and journals to give helpful tools for Anger in Adults, Children, Therapy processing, and more. You can check out my workbooks on https://cmamawrite.etsy.com
I am a firm believer that we all have the strength and capability within ourselves to accomplish our goals; we just need to give ourselves a little grace in the process.
I have learned that giving ourselves grace is part of learning and the only way to grow. Before settling into life in my private practice, I was a world-traveling Mama with two little boys in tow. We lived in three different countries over the course of five years. In this whirlwind I learned a lot about loneliness, my need for connection, and how much strength I had in my reserves. I also learned about beauty in places that I only once imagined-in our world and in unexpected people.
