Elevated Wellness Counseling, LLC is founded on helping people develop a working definition of wellness through a multifaceted lens, incorporating personal development, confronting fears, identifying strengths, and increasing capacity for problem solving and meaning making in life. Often, the human experience leaves us feeling burnt out, disconnected, and looking for meaning. Seeking therapy is the first step in building the skills necessary to thrive. Areas of expertise include: Anxiety, depression, coping with transition, relationship issues, sex therapy, religion and spirituality, achieving wellness, and professional development.
Counseling provides a safe environment to challenge what's no longer working and engage in growth enhancing experiences. I hope to help you create a plan for your future by developing your awareness, self-knowledge, and skills for the journey. I believe that healthy individuals make healthy families, and in turn, together we make a healthy community.
I believe in engaging clients through a wellness paradigm and tend to shy away from pathology. I prefer to relate to clients through the lens of compassion, curiosity, and respect. While diagnosis can lend an excellent foundation to better understand a variety of human conditions, it's important to recognize that labels do not define us. AASECT member.
