They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.

Hi, I’m Roxi, a mom to grown people, a sister to seven siblings, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I listed my LPC last not because it’s not important but because along my life’s journey and more than thirty plus years of human service and social work experience, I have a lot of practical life and clinical expertise that I’ve accumulated over the years. My LPC allows me to share my experiences with others and with that, I am walking and working in my purpose.
