Therapy for When “Something’s Off”

You’re doing what you’ve always done—showing up, keeping the peace, making things work. But something inside you knows: this isn’t working.

You can’t quite name it, but the feeling is there. Things should be better by now. And the thought of staying stuck is starting to feel scarier than whatever change might come.

You’re not just restless—you’re discerning. You care deeply. About people. About truth. About doing what’s right, even when it’s hard.

This space is for you—the ones on the edge of something new, even if you can’t quiet put words to it yet.

If you have a feeling there is more, stepping into my office is a great way to start finding it.

You don’t need all the answers—just the willingness to explore.

I help you piece things together, map out the real issues, and uncover what’s beneath the surface—without judgment. This isn’t about quick fixes, but digging deep to find your true vision and values.

I’ll help keep you grounded in your growth and hold onto your vision when the process feels overwhelming. Together, we’ll find the words you need to move forward.

Many people I work with don’t just heal—they gain clarity that changes their lives in ways they never expected.

Christian Leaders

I know how heavy the weight can be for ministry leaders and their families. I’m here to walk alongside you in a safe, faith-filled space where you can sort through the hard stuff and stay connected to what truly matters.

Married Couples

If you’re feeling stuck in communication, carrying old wounds, or drifting apart, I’m here to help you find a safe, faith-filled space to heal, reconnect, and grow a marriage that feels whole and alive.

Premarital Counseling

Together, we’ll go beyond just figuring things out—we’ll explore skills that help you communicate, handle conflict, and deepen your connection so your marriage can thrive for the long haul.

Parenting Support

Whether you’re settling into life with little ones or navigating the ups and downs of raising older kids, I’m here to gently support you. Together, we’ll nurture your connection, open up new ways to communicate, and create a home filled with love and faith.

Trauma & Personal Healing

“Trauma” is a word that gets used a lot these days—but what does it really mean for you? Let’s unpack what’s happening in your life and explore how it might be affecting you in ways you haven’t yet named.

Vision Development

You feel called to lead because deep down, you know things can be better than they are. Even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet—or whether you’re ready to admit it—you’re not alone. Together, we’ll explore that calling and help you find the clarity and courage to step into it.

“Therapy isn’t for the weak—it’s for the world changers ready to face their struggles, grow stronger, and lead with courage.”

— Kia Gutierrez

Your Story Matters

The way we see ourselves is shaped by the stories we tell—about our past, our worth, and what’s possible for our future. If those stories are filled with shame, self-doubt, or old wounds, they can hold us back. Together, we’ll work to rewrite those narratives so they reflect truth, healing, and hope.

Your Emotions Aren’t the Enemy

Big feelings can be overwhelming—whether it’s frustration, anxiety, guilt, or just plain exhaustion. But emotions aren’t problems to fix; they’re signals trying to tell us something. In our work together, we’ll slow down and tune in so you can learn what your emotions are really saying and how to respond in a way that brings peace, not more stress.

You Are Made of Many Parts

Ever feel like part of you wants to rest, but another part can’t stop thinking about all the things that need to get done? Or maybe part of you feels like a great parent or leader, while another part worries you’re not doing enough. We all have different parts of ourselves, and sometimes, they clash. By understanding these different sides of you, we can help them work together instead of pulling you in opposite directions.

Healing Begins With Feeling Safe

If you’ve been through hard things—whether big or small—it makes sense that certain situations, words, or even emotions feel unsafe. Healing isn’t about “just moving on.” It’s about creating space to process, feel safe in your own body and mind, and build trust with yourself again. You don’t have to go through that alone.

You and Your Culture Matter Here

Your background, experiences, and values shape how you see the world—and they should be part of the conversation. Whether your family’s traditions, faith, or identity play a big role in your life, or you’re still figuring that out, I’ll always meet you with understanding and respect. You don’t have to fit into anyone else’s mold to show up as yourself in this space.

Ready to start? Let’s work together to create a path forward—one that honors where you’ve been and leads you toward where you want to be and how you want to lead.
