Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13+ years of experience, supporting driven professionals, high-achieving individuals, and couples through stress, overwhelm, burnout, boundary issues, grief, trauma, identity shifts, internal conflict, and relationship challenges.

Alongside my partner Andrew, a professional coach, we operate as a married therapist–coach duo. We blend clinical expertise with real-life partnership wisdom to help individuals and couples achieve clarity and connection. Through our Take The Step (T-STEP) Method, we help people navigate conflict with greater awareness, honesty, and responsibility so their relationships can grow stronger and more resilient over time.

I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals and couples as they navigate difficult transitions, financial barriers, and communication challenges, offering a grounded, compassionate, clinically informed container for growth.

My approach to therapy

Our proprietary Take The Step (T-STEP) method, is a practical, results-driven framework that strengthens relationships, builds trust, and supports lasting growth. We offer a free assessment that provides insight on your strengths and areas of growth in communication. (www.souljourneyproject.com)

I help our clients improve communication, resolve conflict, and gain clarity.

My therapeutic work is grounded, culturally aware, and focused on helping clients gain clarity, emotional safety, and practical next steps, not just insight.

I want to help you discover your inner strength and the power you have to change your life for the better. We will explore the connection that your thoughts have with your feelings, and develop a plan to have more desired outcomes.

What you can expect from me

I create a warm and welcoming environment to have open and honest discussion. I have a DIRECT style that's wrapped in compassion, to promote REAL change. I will hold you accountable to your goals, while also being patient with your process.
