Importance of Mental Health
Mental health is the foundation of overall well-being. When we neglect the mind, every other area of life can suffer. My goal is to help clients prioritize their mental health, find balance, and rediscover happiness. Counseling is a journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you in healing and growth.
Therapeutic approach:
The counseling environment I create is grounded in unconditional positive regard, meaning I strive to ensure that every client feels truly heard, respected, and safe. My approach is deeply influenced by Carl Rogers’ person-centered theory, which emphasizes that meaningful growth happens in an environment rooted in genuineness, acceptance, and empathy. Attachment, in order to heal the underlying wounds and be able to create long lasting healing and IFS, because our minds are complex entities that need to be fully integrated and heard part by part.
In addition, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in identifying and transforming unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps individuals build emotional regulation skills and develop healthy, practical coping mechanisms for everyday challenges.
I believe that every person has the capacity to become the best version of themselves. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping to empower and encourage you to create positive, lasting change in your life.
About the Therapist:
In high school and college I volunteered with a nonprofit supporting homeless veterans. This meaningful experience inspired me to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of West Florida and later, to serve in the United States Air Force.
While in the Air Force, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Victim Advocate and leading educational programs focused on suicide prevention. These roles deepened my commitment to supporting others through difficult and transformative life experiences.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and my therapeutic focus includes healing generational trauma, individual therapy, and marriage counseling.
Therapy is not just my profession, it’s my passion. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your mental health journey and I look forward to supporting your healing and growth.
I work under the supervision of Isabel Kirk, LPC.
