Welcome to Peace of Mind Wellness Center

Providing integrative mental health treatment.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with life?

Your emotional needs are not getting met and it feels like your brain can not shut down. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done and the demands seem to come from everywhere. Taking a shower feels like a luxury and you can’t remember when you balanced your bank account or even felt like yourself. You feel shame because you feel you can’t do anything right.

The people in your life are so critical that you are beginning to wonder if maybe there is actually something wrong with you. Your weight and physical health are getting out of control. You feel detached from yourself. Often you feel controlled or manipulated at work, with friends and even at home. You just can’t make anyone happy.You know that there is something in your past that you have avoided dealing with and you can feel it creeping to the surface.

Lately, you have taken to having extreme emotional responses to the demands. You have even been numbing out on TV, alcohol, social media, or food. You have decided that its time to make a change but you just can’t figure out how.

You also know that there is something you can do about all of this but you just can’t seem to figure it out.

I offer a free 15-minute session to see if what I have to offer is a good fit. Most people report that after the first few minutes of the free session, they already feel better. Those that have chosen to work with me on a deeper level report that they feel heard, understood, and safe enough to make the changes that level them up to their highest selves.


I’m on a mission to improve the lives of motivated professionals who have outgrown where they are and are ready for something better.

I worked with Karen during one of the hardest times in my life and she helped me to prioritize my care and find myself after the trauma I went through. She gave me valuable insight into self care practices and living a full and positive life based on intent and knowing what I want for myself.
