The life you want is within you and ready to be unleashed !
Change happens when we slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.
Changing
It’s the inevitable, yet the very thing that we’re hardwired to resist.
Someone once said, you’re either moving forward or you’re moving backwards - moving towards or away from our goals. My goal for you is to help you move forward and toward your desires with renewed intention.
Healing
An intensely personal and intentional act of moving towards wholeness. Whether you desire to heal from a toxic relationship, grieve a major loss, or increase your confidence and effectiveness at work and in your personal life, we will work on healing old beliefs and patterns and creating new beliefs and possibilities that help you become the person you’re meant to be.
Growing
Moving forward is growth! You have within you an absolutely awesome potential that is waiting to be unleashed! Growth happens one day at a time one foot in front of the other. My goal in working with you as a counselor or coach is to not only help you grow in your desired direction, but for you to thrive in your growth where you receive the unexpected benefits of change.
Intention
To aim or plan toward a desired goal is the act of intention. By setting our intention, we gain purpose as well as the inspiration and motivation to achieve our purpose. Do you begin the day with intention? We will be intentional in our work together.
"Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk."

Hi, I’m Jo — Welcome.
​
I am a mother of three, a daughter, sister, friend, and mentor. I grew up in North Carolina and now call Midlothian, Virginia home, with roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master’s degree in Counseling Education, and I bring both professional training and lived experience to the work I do with clients.
​
Life happens to all of us. Both the challenges and the successes shape who we become. Over time, our experiences can either limit us or guide us toward greater purpose, meaning, and intention. You may have heard that it is not the events themselves that determine our happiness, but the meaning we assign to them.
​
Together, we will explore how old beliefs may be holding you back and work to create space for healing and growth. I will help you develop new skills, perspectives, and ways of thinking that open the door to greater clarity, deeper fulfillment, and renewed enjoyment in your relationships and daily life.

You don’t have to wait to begin living the life you want. I invite you to schedule a complimentary 10-minute consultation to explore how I can support you on your journey forward.

My Services
Counseling
Counseling may be helpful if stress, negative emotions, or negative thinking patterns are affecting your well-being or relationships.
Together, we’ll explore past and present experiences to understand current behaviors and create healthier ways of coping. We’ll work through difficult feelings, challenge distorted thoughts, address self-destructive habits, and, when possible, repair and strengthen relationships.
Counseling typically involves a longer-term, deeper process than coaching, providing space for sustained growth and healing.
Coaching
Our coaching sessions are more present and future oriented as we explore your dreams, visions, and goals for your personal and professional life.
Through thoughtful questioning, and self discovery you will gain insight and awareness that guides you in taking actions toward your goals.
We will identify skills and actions necessary to help you reach your goals while providing structure, support and feedback during this process.
