EMDR trained "The good life is a process, not a state of being.

It is a direction not a destination". - Carl Rogers. Life is a journey in which we experience a variety of challenges and emotions. During difficult times it can be beneficial to reach out to someone for extra support. My goal is to provide you a comfortable space where you feel heard and understood. We will work together to utilize your strengths in order to promote growth and change in a healthy way. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship built on respect, open communication, and trust. As a client you will find a safe, empathic and accepting counseling environment. I use a person centered, strengths based approach which focuses on your individual strengths and maintains a positive perspective. You will be encouraged and challenged while stretching yourself! Along with talk therapy we will integrate art, play and nature. You will leave session with a new perspective and ideas to use in your daily life. I would love the opportunity to work with you. I look forward to speaking with you so we can discuss your counseling needs. I am happy to answer any questions you have about the counseling process. Call, message, or email me to receive your free phone consultation. "Its about progress not perfection."

✨A Note of Gratitude for Our Teachers & Staff ✨

As a new school year begins, I want to pause and say thank you. Each of you is about to embark on another year of guiding, teaching, and encouraging students in ways that reach far beyond the classroom. 🙏 🙏🙏

💖 Your patience, creativity, and dedication help shape minds, build confidence, resilience, and instill a sense of belonging. The early mornings, the late nights, the care you give to each child; it is of the greatest value.💖

This year will bring challenges, laughter, growth, and countless small victories. Please know that you are deeply appreciated, supported, and celebrated as you step into this important work once again. 🎉👏🎉

Here’s to a school year filled with connection, discovery, and joy. Thank you for all that you do! 🫶🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻

Out of Office at Camp Kesem!
Camp names:
Shell (Michele) 🐚
Starfish (Jenny) ⭐️🐠

This week, we’ve stepped away from our usual office setting to volunteer as Mental Health Professionals at Camp Kesem; a free, week-long summer camp for kids whose lives have been impacted by a parent’s cancer. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

As MHPs, we’re here to support campers and counselors with emotional care throughout the week; whether it’s processing big feelings, offering calming tools, or just being a steady presence during a meaningful (and magical!) time.🪄⚡️

We feel incredibly honored to be part of this beautiful space that fosters connection, healing, and joy for kids who truly deserve it. 🥰

We’ll be slower to respond this week but will return to our regular practice soon; with full hearts and a few more camp songs stuck in our heads. 🎶🌲

It’s incredible how bravery lives just on the other side of fear.
In the moments when we are building bravery, the body often feels nervous, shaky, and unsure. And, after we take that step beyond hesitation, that’s when the feeling of bravery shows up.

My kiddos fear was real.
He paused and said, “ I can’t do it.” and, “Mom, I feel scared.”
The nerves didn’t leave his body.
His brain didn’t stop sending messages of self-doubt.
All of that was still there and he chose to jump anyway. (his first time ever off a diving board.)
And right there, in that very moment, the pride & bravery swept over him.
You could see it all over his face.

He grew a belief in himself that he could do it.
And now? He’s jumped 100 times; over and over.

He chose to leap, even with a pounding heart. 💙

Counselors & Cosmopolitans: A Friday Vibe 🍸
Counselors spend all week holding space for others, listening, guiding, and supporting. By Friday, it’s time to exhale. Whether it’s a quiet evening with a book, a long walk, or a perfectly mixed Cosmopolitan, self-care isn’t optional—it’s essential.
So here’s to the helpers, the listeners, the heart-healers. Take a deep breath, sip something delightful, and let the week melt away. Cheers to rest, recharge, and a well-earned Friday night. 💖✨
