Reaching out for support is a sign of strength—even if you don't feel strong right now.
What you’re feeling matters.
The reality of your relationships don’t feel—or look—the way you hoped.
It’s a lot to carry. And it’s okay to feel all of it.
You’re not alone in this.
Maybe you’re here because the people in your life aren’t ready for therapy—and you’re choosing to show up for your own healing.
That’s not a weakness. That’s wisdom. That’s courage.
This is a space where feelings are welcome.
Where your story—every complicated, painful, or confusing part of it—has room to land.
let me be the first to tell you:
You’re not broken.
Bring your life’s experiences and emotions in a dump truck, tip it back, and let it all spill out. Make a pile—and leave it here. Your pile is safe with me.
Every time we meet, we’ll sift through the pile that is your story—gently—together.
We’ll get our hands dirty, explore what’s there, and begin to understand it piece by piece.
You get to choose what’s meaningful—what stays, what goes, what shines.
I’ll help you polish the parts you choose.
And I’ll support you in finding ways to keep the pain of the past from taking the driver’s seat in the present.
Together, we’ll begin shaping a path rooted in connection, love, and joy—one that truly nurtures YOU.
I’m here to help you take the first step toward understanding and building stronger connections.
Come join me to help you find your Balanced Pathways in life.
I used to be the person who said YES all the time, when my gut was clearly telling me NO. I was burned out from giving so much of myself. I thought I was being kind by saying yes all the time, yet did not realize saying yes meant I was not being kind to myself. I had to learn how to see my needs and listen to them, as well as honor and show compassion for my limits. In my growth I learned to balance my life and follow the path that keeps me congruent with myself and others.
Balanced Pathways LLC reflects that journey—a path toward living in alignment with yourself, and others.
Clients often describe me as someone who “gets it” — someone who helps them believe real change is possible.
In session, I model compassionate, clear communication. Together, we practice how to express needs in ways that build trust and connection — not conflict.
Many say therapy with me helps them protect and refill their “emotional needs” bucket — their inner reserve of strength. With that bucket full, they’re less affected by emotional drains or toxic dynamics. They show up for life with steadiness, self-respect, and the tools to navigate even the hardest moments.
You’re worth the investment.

My core values
EXPLORATION
In our work together, there’s space to get curious—about your thoughts, your patterns, your past, and the way you see the world. We don’t rush to fix or label things. Instead, we gently explore what’s beneath the surface, knowing that insight and healing often begin with simply paying attention.
GROWTH
Growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about becoming more of who you truly are. Sometimes growth is quiet and internal, and sometimes it shows up in the choices you make and the boundaries you set. I’m here to walk with you as you grow at your own pace, in your own way.
MODELING
Therapy is not just a space to talk—it’s a space to experience. I model what it looks like to communicate with honesty and care, to validate emotions, and to show up fully. Through this, you begin to see new ways of relating—not just to others, but to yourself.
AUTHENTICITY
You don’t have to filter or perform here. I invite you to bring your full, real self into the room. That includes the unsure parts, the messy parts, and the parts that are still figuring things out. I show up as my authentic self too—because I believe healing happens in real, human connection.
NO JUDGEMENT
You are welcome here exactly as you are. I don’t judge your past, your choices, or your pain. I see you as a whole person—not a problem to be solved, but a human being who deserves understanding, care, and support.
VULNERABILITY
Vulnerability is not weakness. It’s the quiet courage to tell the truth about how you feel and what you need. Together, we create a space where you can be vulnerable without fear—because that’s often where the deepest healing begins.
Let’s get started.
