About My Clients

You feel overwhelmed by past experiences and struggle with self-worth, anxiety, and self-doubt. You experience a relentless inner critic that makes it hard to see your strengths and potential. You seek a compassionate, supportive space to heal and grow. At Safe Harbor Counseling, you receive personalized, trauma-informed care tailored to your unique journey. Together, we work to overcome negative self-talk, build resilience, and help you embrace your true worth.

My Background and Approach

You want a therapist who understands your struggles and can provide the support you need. With a Master's in Education and credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), you can trust that you're in capable hands. You feel reassured knowing that my extensive experience in trauma-informed care and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy directly benefits you. You experience a safe, non-judgmental space where your unique needs are met with compassion and expertise. Having worked extensively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community and veterans, you will find that I understand the complexities of your experiences. You benefit from tailored therapeutic approaches that focus on healing, growth, and building self-worth. Together, we address your anxiety, self-doubt, and negative self-talk, helping you develop resilience and embrace your true potential.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You feel understood and supported when you connect with someone who shares your values and beliefs. I believe in the transformative power of empathy and understanding in therapy. As an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and a supporter of mental health initiatives, you experience a therapist who actively participates in movements that promote inclusivity, equality, and understanding. My commitment to these values is rooted in my own journey, including the challenges I've faced and overcome. This personal experience fuels my dedication to creating a supportive, safe space for you, regardless of your background or identity. Volunteering with local organizations that support veterans and mental health awareness, I strive to make a difference both inside and outside the therapy room. In our work together, you will find that my practice reflects my belief in the strength of diversity, the importance of mental health, and the power of collective healing.
