At Willis Counseling & Consulting, Canentra is most eager to work with individuals of all ages (including kids & teens), relationship partners & families facing any form of trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges, behavioral challenges, familial issues, faith & spiritual ambiguities as well as other mental health issues causing a major impact in one’s life. In her work, she strives to provide support while walking through the journey with them to explore, unravel, understand & better manage themselves & the world.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. From this perspective, I have developed an individualized approach in which the relationship provides a safe place where feelings and behavior can be explored. Often, current struggles have developed over time so that connections can be made to past experiences. With this understanding a person can begin to make changes which lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I bring a solid eclectic knowledge base to the process, drawing on individual dynamics, relationship dynamics, and an understanding of human development throughout the life cycle. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents (including their families).

I am a Licensed Clinical Worker with thirty-five years of experience,who works with both individuals and couples.

My years of experience have taught me how to be most helpful in the therapy process.

Do other therapists seem judgmental? Don't understand? Won't listen to you? If you need to talk about anything and everything, clients tell me I have a strong capacity for compassion, empathy, and care. At the same time, I’m forthright and candid. I see you and hear you—a whole person (body, mind, spirit) living in an interactive and interconnected world. I believe you're the expert in you - even if you're not yet aware of it. My role is to help you find that, and bring my own holistic vision, experience, training, expertise, and tools to the table, so you can work to be the best possible version of you. I am a trauma specialist.
