You may find that you are in a season in your life where talking to a therapist could help you process, gain better clarity, or just serve as an outlet. If this resonates with you I would like to recognize that it takes great strength in taking this step. It would be a privilege to connect with you. I look forward to walking through this journey alongside you while I demonstrate empathy and cultural competency.
I offer individual therapy for pre-adolescents, adolescents, and adults. I have extensive experience working with adolescents with behavioral challenges and involved in the Juvenile Justice system as well as supervising programming. I work with individuals to address trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, relational conflicts, and goal development.
The goal of Freedom Counseling is to assist individuals in finding an inner freedom that allows them to be who they were created to be. This is done with education and a supportive, holistic approach which incorporates the body, mind, spirit, and soul.
