Growth & Healing Counseling

Life can often feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling stuck, alone, or simply going through the motions. We often feel no one sees or hears us. I specialize in working with heightened or overwhelming emotions such as anxiety, depression, confusion, and conflicts. I work with children, adults, teens and families to gain understanding of their emotions. When we understand our thoughts and feelings, I believe we feel more power over our choices in life. Daily living is an unpredictable journey where sadness and worry are often inevitable. While sadness can leave us bitter or wise, and worry can make us feel as though we are spiraling, I believe we have the power to choose how we grow through these experiences. My role is to meet you at that juncture and help you decide how to proceed. I approach therapy through Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, and Gestalt lenses. I encourage you to share your story, as healing occurs when you speak the truth that matters most to you. Together, we will build an awareness of your cognitive schemas and the beliefs you live by, challenging you to determine how you would like to grow to be more emotionally intelligent. My goal is to join you on this journey to help you discover what a fulfilling life looks like for you. When working with children, I take an educational approach to emotional intelligence. Through conversation and play, I help children practice expressing their feelings to increase emotional awareness, better self-regulate, and communicate their needs during conflict.
