Welcome
Welcome to Empowered Healing Counseling
Empowered Healing is about discovering your true inner self and creating a meaningful, more fulfilling life. I believe that every individual has the ability to tap into their inner strength, enabling them to navigate through hardship and overcome the challenges life presents. Life is undeniably hard, and at times, we all need professional support to help us take the next step toward the life we desire.
At Empowered Healing Counseling, my mission is to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and healing. I understand that each person who walks through my door has faced trauma and loss in some form. Therapy provides a safe space to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have been lost along the way, build resilience to face life's obstacles, and reclaim our inner power. Together, we will work to heal, grow, and stand strong in the face of adversity.
You have the strength within you to create the life you want. I'm here to help you unlock it. Welcome to your journey of empowered healing.
My Approach
Therapy is a powerful tool for fostering empowerment, self-compassion, and personal growth. I am committed to listening to your unique concerns without judgment and supporting you on your path to optimal wellness. Together, we will enhance your ability to set and strive for goals, build and nurture healthy relationships, and reconnect with yourself.
In our initial sessions, we will explore what led you to seek therapy, establish a strong therapeutic relationship, and set personalized goals for your healing journey. During this phase, we will develop a tailored plan and create a roadmap to empower you and guide our work together.
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor specializing in supporting adults and teens dealing with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and grief and loss. With a compassionate approach, I draw from a professional background that bridges the fields of education and therapy. I started my career as a teacher working with at-risk teens, where I developed a profound understanding of the complex emotional and psychological needs of young people.
My journey took a pivotal turn after the loss of my husband, which inspired me to address the growing need for grief counselors and deepened my passion for helping others navigate their own experiences of loss and hardship. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to grow from challenges, and my goal is to empower and motivate individuals to bring about positive change in their lives.
The therapeutic relationship is fundamental to the success of therapy, and I strive to create a trusting, safe environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their needs and overcoming their challenges. Together, we can work toward healing and growth.
