Every woman has her unique journey, and Athena Counseling provides the support and skills to help her rise to life’s challenges.
I am dedicated to helping women of all ages navigate a wide range of issues, fostering personal growth, and embracing a more fulfilled and balanced life.
Value Proposition
My mission is to provide compassionate, confidential, and empowering counseling services for all women. I aim to create a nurturing environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and supportive space. With compassionate, expert guidance tailored to your individual needs, I will help you build resilience, enhance well-being, and achieve your personal and professional goals with confidence.
I believe in bringing a holistic approach to the counseling space- emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My approach blends traditional therapy techniques with mindfulness, self-care strategies, and tools for emotional well-being, giving you comprehensive support. I don’t just treat symptoms; I want to help you build resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to yourself.
Navigating depression and anxiety can feel overwhelming, especially for women balancing multiple roles and responsibilities. I am here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your feelings and gain practical tools to manage your mental health. I offer personalized counseling that addresses your unique experiences and challenges, empowering you to build resilience, find clarity, and cultivate a sense of well-being. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or looking to deepen your current journey, I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
How anxiety may look like in your day-to-day life:
Thinking worst-case scenario, procrastination, fear, ruminating thoughts, constant worry, worried about what others think about you, exhaustion from your racing thoughts, and self-sabotage behaviors.
Depression:
Sadness, unmotivated, feeling all alone and isolated from others, negative thinking
I want to support individuals who are struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, or low self-esteem. Whether facing critical self-judgment, comparing yourself to others, or dealing with feelings of inadequacy, we will explore the underlying beliefs contributing to negative body image and learn to replace harmful thought patterns with self-acceptance and appreciation.
I want to help you build confidence and recognize your strengths. I will assist you in overcoming perfectionism, fear of judgment, and feelings of unworthiness, guiding you toward a healthier, more positive self-view.
Ways disordered eating/body image issues may show up for you:
Constant thoughts about food(how much you ate, how many calories you ate or allowed yourself to eat), controlling when it comes to food, low self-esteem, negative self-talk about yourself and your body, and comparison to others.
Life is full of changes—whether you are going away to college, embarking on a new career path, experiencing relationship changes, experiencing motherhood, midlife, or experiencing personal growth—these times can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and stressed.
I help women navigate life transitions with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, facing an empty nest, or seeking purpose, I’m here to help guide you.
Scenarios that stress and overwhelm can lead to:
Lack of self-care, sleep issues, increase in substance use, frustration, irritability, feeling burned-out, and feeling disconnected
About Me
I love having deep, meaningful conversations! I am passionate about getting below the superficial small talk and diving deep. I feel like I’ve been a counselor my whole life. Nothing brings me more joy than sitting with someone and offering them a non-judgmental space to be fully themselves. It not only humbles me, but it’s also a privilege to bear witness to another’s story.
When I am not in full counseling mode, I’m hanging out with my husband, two daughters, and two dogs.

I believe that healing happens not only in the therapy room but also in the fresh air, under the open sky, and with the natural rhythm of walking. Walk and Talk Therapy combines the benefits of traditional therapy with the restorative power of nature, helping you process your emotions, reduce stress, and gain clarity—one step at a time.
