Bright Journey Counseling provides empathetic, yet focused coping strategies to offer hope, positive thinking and realization that change is possible. I am passionate about working with young adults and women that have developed unhealthy behaviors and interpersonal relationships related to past trauma experiences. I bring over a decade of clinical experience providing psychotherapy to children, teens and adults in various clinical settings including community-based, outpatient treatment center, private and group practice.
I strive to use an integrative approach with emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, deeply relational, trauma-informed and expressive practices to meet your individual needs. Together we will work to change generational narratives, break cycles of dysfunction, and utilize strategies to create space for new opportunities of healing and growth.
I believe that everyone has the ability to implement change, it's tough sometimes to access those tools. Know that you don't have to suffer in silence, I will hold space for you. Let's do this important work together.
