CREVE COEUR COMMUNITY COUNSELING

“If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.”
― Viktor Frankl

Many people feel overwhelmed by mental illness, trauma, loneliness, disappointment, loss, and
grief. I believe that through a combination of therapeutic techniques and genuine support hope
can be found to endure any situation.

Everyone has different reasons for coming to therapy, so my goal is to help you find what works
best for you. Whether you need someone to vent to or need a specific intervention my job is to
do whatever is within my ability and training to help relieve your stress and help you grow as a
person. I hope that no matter your situation I can help you to find peace of mind and to work
alongside you as you discover how to make beneficial changes in your circumstances or mindset.

By searching for a counselor, you’re taking a step towards change and recovery. With my clients,
I provide a supportive environment to work through the current struggles you are facing.
Whether you are deeply suffering or purely in need of making some adjustments I can provide a
setting that will help promote mental clarity.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” -Seneca

You aren’t sure when it happened, but you suddenly realize your self-confidence is lacking and you are second guessing each and every decision that comes your way. You feel overwhelmed and are unsure how to regain control of your emotions. You long for positive change, but don’t know where to turn. Seeking counseling can be a daunting task, but taking the first step to find a therapist can often lead to new beginnings. a passion for helping and an eagerness to support others in their mental and emotional wellness and development which has led me to the counseling profession.

A background in psychology and school counseling has provided me the opportunity to work with both children of varying age groups and their families to support students’ social-emotional health. Working with children has given me a passion for helping and an eagerness to support others in their mental and emotional wellness. Together, we will work to identify goals related to your overall well-being and develop strategies to overcome any obstacles you feel you may encounter along the way. 

As a therapist, I will give you a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you can be your genuine self. I will provide empathetic reflection and insight to support you as you explore, grow, and heal. I thank you for giving me the chance to be a small part of your new beginning.

Searching for a counselor can be daunting and can make many people feel nervous and hesitant due to the vulnerability it takes to begin a new counseling relationship. It’s hard to take that first step in reaching out, and I hope to make that first step a little easier and feel a little safer.

As a counselor, I view my role as a partner to my clients. I am here to listen without judgment, respect your autonomy, and support you in what you need in the present. I am here to walk alongside you when looking into your past, and honor what you want for your future.

I personally have been in counseling for about 10 years and I know what it’s like to be the client. We will go at your pace, and explore what you want to explore. Whatever background, culture, or community you are part of, it is important to me to create a space where you can feel safe to be exactly who you are.

As human beings, we are complex with layers of experiences, emotions, identities, and beliefs that are ever evolving. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, heartbroken, or have gone through trauma, oppression, or significant transition, we will work together to find a path toward healing and growth.
