Inspired Counseling offers a safe and respectful environment where clients can openly share their deepest thoughts, emotions, and feelings without fear of judgment or blame. Through evidence-based and culturally appropriate interventions, clients are empowered to manage stress, build resilience, and reclaim their agency and dignity. Our approach addresses the root causes of trauma, promoting healing and wellness. Inspired Counseling provides psychotherapeutic services to adults, including individuals, couples, and groups. We specialize in supporting BIPOC women who struggle with anxiety, and depression, due to unresolved trauma.
I specialize in helping clients who experience anxiety and depression, and together we have achieved significant success in reducing symptoms. In our initial session, we will take time to get to know each other. I will explain my method of practice, and you will have the opportunity to share details about your background and your goals for therapy.
I understand that finding the right therapist is essential for your journey. Let's connect and see if we're a good match. A strong therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy, and I'm here to help you discover if we can build that together. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I'm looking forward to our conversation.
