You work hard…
Staying on top of everything life demands—work, groceries, family, and hopefully some fun and connection, too.
But all those external demands keep your mind racing, constantly shifting from one task to the next. It feels like there’s never enough time to catch your breath or focus on yourself.
With so much to manage, the thought of driving to one more appointment and talking to a stranger about your problems or goals feels exhausting. Yet, deep down, you know you need a change.
And yet… you know it would be good for you to talk to someone.
Imagine getting the support you need without leaving the comfort of your home—or even the safety of your parked car. With online counseling and coaching, you don’t have to rearrange your life to prioritize your well-being.
And while it might feel awkward at first to talk to a stranger, that part is only temporary. Very quickly, it becomes a conversation with a trusted confidante who truly listens.
Through the screen, we create a safe, grounding space for real healing and growth. We work together using proven skills and thoughtful inquiry, always focused on what matters most to you.
You’ll be heard, seen, and accepted…
… while being gently guided to grow toward your strengths and overall health.
We won’t dwell on pain or weaknesses. Instead, we’ll transform challenges into strengths. You’ll learn to process things creatively and effectively, gaining the clarity and confidence to build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
The Vision Behind Alive Explorations
Alive Explorations LLC was born from a vision of helping people reconnect with their values and live more intentionally. It’s about breaking free from limiting routines and embracing lives that truly light you up.
I started this journey after taking my own bold leap—leaving a traditional counseling career and traveling full-time to rediscover what truly matters. That experience taught me the power of living authentically and inspired me to help others do the same.
My mission is to empower helpers and healers—therapists, caregivers, purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and anyone who gives so much of themselves to others. I want to help you create a balanced, fulfilling life that allows you to continue your important work with joy and sustainability.
A Collaborative Wellness Center
But my vision goes beyond one-on-one sessions. Alive Explorations is growing into a collaborative online wellness center, where diverse holistic practitioners come together to support clients on their healing and self-discovery journeys.
I believe true healing and transformation happen when we align our lives with our authentic values—and that requires a holistic approach. That’s why I’m building a community of practitioners who are passionate about helping clients live with purpose, creativity, and balance.
If you’re a healer or wellness practitioner who shares this vision, I’d love to connect. I’m looking for like-minded professionals who value flexibility, freedom, and the power of collaborative care. Together, we can create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and inspired to live their most authentic lives.
If you’re Wondering When to Get Started, the Answer is Now.
The consultation is free, and there are no strings attached. We’ll talk about where you want to go and what’s holding you back. I’ll be honest about whether I think I can help. If not, I’ll share some resources to help you find a good fit, so no matter what—you’ll leave the call with more clarity.
Request your consultation here based on the service you need, and reclaim your well-being.
