Simple Strategies Anyone Can Use to Feel Better.

It’s all in the conversation.

Feel supported, not stuck — so you can finally move forward with calm and clarity.

Does this sound familiar?

You’re constantly supporting others — students, loved ones, coworkers — but when stress hits, there’s no time left for you. You want to feel better, but therapy feels too big, too slow, or just not quite right for right now.

You’re looking for something simple. Something that works. A way to manage stress and regain your sense of control — without over-committing your already full schedule.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. In just 20 minutes, you’ll get focused support and practical tools you can use immediately. It’s counseling designed for real life — fast, accessible, and rooted in strategies that truly help.

Welcome,

At my core, I believe that life is meant to feel good and that everyone deserves happiness. With some simple strategies, we can all get there. At 20 Minute Counseling the goal is to help you truly believe this too. Through simple, easy-to-use strategies, you can feel better even when you don’t think it’s possible. Through a 20 Minute conversation, we will build a toolkit of these strategies customized to your needs. I want to be clear that this is not therapy. If that is something you think you need, 20 Minute Counseling is probably not the right fit. But if you want to find more joy, peace, and ease right now, this may be the place to start. I would love for everyone to have these tools, so that we can all feel the joy we deserve.
