Who I Help
I provide counseling for children, teens, young adults, college students, and families navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, self-esteem, relationships, school pressures, family concerns, and major life transitions.
Whether you’re trying to manage overwhelming emotions, build confidence, navigate changing relationships, or simply feel more like yourself again, counseling offers a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
How I Help
Growing up and finding your way through life can come with a lot to carry, and sometimes it’s hard to put into words what feels wrong.
I support children, teens, young adults, college students, and families navigating anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and difficult life experiences. Some clients come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. Others are struggling with school pressure, identity, family changes, grief, trauma, or simply trying to manage emotions that feel bigger than they know how to handle.
My approach begins with creating a safe, trusting relationship where you can feel heard and understood without judgment. From there, I help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, develop healthier ways to cope, strengthen emotional regulation, and build confidence in yourself.
I also provide support through major life transitions, burnout, grief and loss, trauma, and school-life balance. My goal isn’t to change who you are. It’s to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to move forward while staying true to yourself.
Root & Rise Counseling is an affirming space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and life experiences with respect, acceptance, and care.
My Approach
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel truly heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in building a trusting relationship where you can feel safe being vulnerable and showing up as you are.
Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing, recognize the strengths you already have, and build practical tools to help you manage emotions, navigate challenges, and feel more confident in yourself. I’ll support you while also gently challenging you when needed, so you can create meaningful change without feeling pushed or judged.
For children and teens, I may involve parents or caregivers when helpful so the skills and progress made in therapy can carry into home, school, relationships, and everyday life.
Healing isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about feeling safe enough to grow, reconnect with who you are, and move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.
