About My Clients
At Bastet Counseling, the work we do together is about more than symptom relief. It's about reconnecting with your inner goddess, that part of you that knows her worth, trusts her instincts, and moves through the world with confidence and clarity. Life has a way of dimming that light. Trauma dims it. Burnout dims it. Impossible expectations, old wounds, and years of putting everyone else first (they all dim it). But it never goes out. This is the space where you come to turn it back up.
My Background and Approach
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor, National Certified Counselor, Certification in Perinatal Mental Health through PSI, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), along with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through Emdria. Compatibility Check: ✔ You want to feel genuinely safe and unjudged from the very first session ✔ You're ready for real, meaningful change — not just to vent ✔ You want a therapist who is warm, real, and direct without being harsh ✔ You believe in your own capacity to heal, and you just need the right support to get there ✔ You want care that is rooted in both science and deep respect for who you are ✔ You're done pretending to be okay and ready to actually feel okay ✔ Your family looks exactly the way you built it — and you want a therapist who celebrates that. Pets included.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I named my practice after the ancient Egyptian Goddess, Bastet (Bast). Come as you are and you are fully accepted. I am affirming and inclusive of all backgrounds, identities, relationship structures, and lifestyles. Families come in every shape and form — traditional, blended, single-parent, co-parenting, child-free by choice, chosen family, and everything in between — and every one of them is honored here. There is no "right" way to build a life or a family, and you will never be made to feel otherwise in this space. If your pet is family-and they absolutely are-you'll never have to explain or justify that here. The bonds we have with our animals are real, meaningful, and worthy of the same respect as any other relationship in your life. I have a long history of helping all creatures. I'm not a volunteer per se but the universe keeps me busy. Always standing for unity, but occasionally found on the streets in solidarity.
