How Coffee Break Started

Coffee Break began as a result of my time working in an intensive care unit and witnessing the stress that medical professionals, families and patients undergo while combating illness.

I was later introduced to the trauma that is endured during childbirth and the long-term effects that can follow poorly managed maternal care.

Coffee Break eventually emerged as a place for everyone who struggles with everyday stress, anxiety, mood disorders and general feelings of not knowing what to do next.

I provide tele-therapy sessions for adults, teens and school aged children ages 10 and older, both homeschooled and formal schooled. My main specialty is trauma and anxiety however I have experience with a wide variety of mental health needs including Depression, Anger management, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD and life transition.
