A Proven Tradition of Excellence in Counseling and Wellness

At Healing Hearts Counseling, we are a licensed and trained team of caring professionals who are dedicated to giving you the best care possible. We value your time and we respect your needs. In fact, we really listen! What we bring to the "therapy couch" is experience in treating a multitude of mental health issues along with lots and lots of training. Whether you are aged 4, 14 or 41, we are here and we are ready to tackle hard issues with you. At Healing Hearts Counseling, we understand and are honored to partner with you in changing thought and behavior patterns that have kept you unhappy and stuck.

Connection matters; we weren't meant to go through life's hurts and challenges alone. Oftentimes we get this connection through friends and family, but sometimes we need more than that. Sometimes it feels as though we are stuck in the spot we are in without hope of things changing. I understand that it's difficult to take that step towards counseling. My heart is to create a space to feel heard, understood, and to gain hope as we walk through those stuck points together.

Are anxiety and fear keeping you from truly living your life? Struggling with ruminating, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts? Does social anxiety keep you from making the connections your desire? Do you find yourself stuck in past trauma, unable to move forward? It doesn't have to be this way. Relief is possible. I am passionate about helping people live their life without having anxiety at the wheel. I specialize in working with clients with all types of anxiety issues (OCD, panic disorder, phobias, GAD). I also work with PTSD, trauma, navigating life transitions, and relationship issues.

As I've grown in the field of therapy, one thing I have clung to is the desire to give my clients a safe space that they can come to. As a respected professor once quoted Carl Whittaker, "if you are going to do surgery in therapy, make sure to dip the scalpel in the anesthetic of love". Therapy is not always easy and neither is life. I may not be able to promise that the road to healing is easy, but I can promise to walk through this valley with you.

Stepping into the therapy office is not the easiest process. I hope to create a space of warmth for you to be able to process through whatever brought you into therapy. After having been "on the couch" for awhile as the client, I know finding the right fit in a therapist is incredibly important. Together, we will work to find what feels right for you.
