Meet Audrey
Real talk.
Real tools.
Real change.
I work with high-achievers, couples, and entrepreneurs who are done just waiting for things to get better on their own.
Whether you are a hardworking adult living in a constant state of anxiety and unease, an entrepreneur feeling out of balance, a couple struggling to communicate, or the spouse of a law enforcement officer who feels caught between needing connection with your partner while also respecting their work — especially those who are used to solving hard problems and can’t figure out why this one won’t budge.
This is a place for you.
I will meet you where you are today — wherever that may be — and help you uncover the patterns, beliefs, and blind spots that are holding you back.
MY APPROACH
Clients describe me as both empathetic and challenging.
I am committed to showing up authentically — I’ll be honest about my own mistakes, bold when necessary, and always validating of your experiences and how they’ve impacted you. I am also comfortable with seemingly “uncomfortable” topics — sex, money, gender roles, whatever — while also welcoming the humor and joy that often arises on the journey self-discovery.
As your counselor, I’m also invested in my own growth. I don’t believe in asking my clients to go anywhere I have not gone myself, because I know how hard it can be to really commit to the therapeutic process. But I also know it works: that with the right support, it can result in real life change even faster than you might think.
At the end of the day…
My goal is that you leave our work together fundamentally different — not just coping better, but actually changed at the root of what was keeping you stuck.
Counseling is not just about making life better; hard times are inevitable. Instead, it’s about getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck and building the clarity, skills, and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. Because once you get the deep, personalized support that actually helps you shift what’s beneath the surface, change doesn’t have to take years. And once you begin to heal and grow from the inside out, everything else begins to shift too.
You no longer feel the pressure to be all things to all people. Instead, you gain the freedom to make decisions that align with your values—and the life you’re meant to live.
My guiding principles
CONGRUENCE
You already know something isn’t working. Maybe you’ve known for a while. Congruence work is about closing the gap between who you actually are and how you’ve been showing up — in your relationships, your work, and with yourself. Once you understand what’s been driving the pattern, you can change it. Not manage it. Change it.
Connection
Disconnection rarely shows up in just one place. When your relationship is struggling, your work suffers. When you’re overwhelmed internally, your closest relationships take the hit. Connection work is about rebuilding the thread between how you feel, how you show up, and what you actually want — so the different parts of your life start working with each other instead of against each other.
Curiosity
Most of the damage in relationships happens in the gap between something triggering you and what comes out of your mouth. Curiosity is the skill that widens that gap. Not so you can overthink everything — but so you can stop running on autopilot and actually choose how you respond. To your partner, to your circumstances, to yourself. That shift alone changes everything.
Who I work best with.
I do my best work with people who show up ready to work — not just ready to talk.
Entrepreneurs, executives, and high-achievers who have built something real professionally and can't figure out why the personal side keeps coming undone. The same drive that makes you effective at work can quietly wreck your closest relationships — and you're starting to feel the cost of that.
Couples who are stuck in the same cycle and have tried talking about it a hundred times without anything shifting. You're not checked out yet, but you're getting close. You need someone who will tell you the truth, not dance around it for months.
Individuals who are self-aware, motivated, and done with slow progress. You've tried the books, maybe even therapy before. You're not looking for someone to hold your hand indefinitely — you want to actually get somewhere.
What my clients have in common isn't what they do. It's how they show up — honest, willing to be challenged, and ready for things to change. Not eventually. Now.
I'm direct. I'll challenge you. And I won't let a session end without naming what I'm actually seeing. If that sounds like what you've been missing, let's talk.

Who I Am & How I Show Up
I'm a white, heterosexual, cisgender, able-bodied woman, and I hold that identity with awareness. The privileges that come with it shape my worldview, and I'm committed to ongoing education, unlearning bias, and deepening my understanding of experiences different from my own — not as a one-time exercise, but as a continuous practice. That means creating a space where clients of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and backgrounds feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected — not just welcomed in name, but met with real openness to who they are and what they carry.
