Hello! I’m Felicia. I’ve been working with children and their families for more than 8 years. In addition, I do work with young adults who appreciate the fun personality that comes with having a therapist who is primarily used to working with children. I promise you won’t have to play with the toys, but you may decide you want to! I’m passionate about helping people live their best lives and families have the system that works for them. I’m here, and I can help if you’re ready.

In the world of mental health, trust is more than a word; it's the foundation of healing and growth. I embrace the privilege of guiding individuals through life's complex challenges. With an integrative approach tailored to each unique soul, my mission goes beyond therapy; it's a pursuit of transformation, grounded in empathy and a profound belief in human potential. The cornerstone of the therapeutic alliance is trust. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel understood and supported. My belief is that every person has the capacity for growth and transformation.

My specialty is assisting you to cope with stressors in life. Working together, I will partner with you to eliminate barriers to reaching your full potential. I believe that healing and growth are possible through therapeutic connection. I primarily provide therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and assistance with coping through divorce or separation. In addition, I specialize in working with you to create more fulfilling relationships.

Life can throw us some difficult challenges and so many struggle with navigating through those challenges. It can sometimes feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel and it is during these times, we all could use extra support. It also takes courage to reach out for help. I believe that everyone has the strength to get through life's toughest challenges with the right tools and support. That is why I am here to provide a safe, supportive environment, listen to you, and work with you to help find solutions and help you get back to living life.

My counseling practice focuses on serving children, adults, and couples or families. In working with children, I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Trauma Focused for children. I also work with adults in issues of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In my practice I provide counseling, therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. My treatment approach allows for the effective engagement of a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to personality issues, depression, bi-polar, psychotic states, autistic spectrum, and trauma (PTSD).

We all encounter difficult times in life. Seeking support to navigate current challenges, or carefully examining the past to change future patterns can be a difficult process. I'm glad you're here.

I love seeing adult individuals, couples, and those having relational and sexual issues. Each of us deserves a life of love, connection and passion. I’d love to help you obtain yours! I also love working with adult women who are struggling to find there voice and place in a world that has not allowed it. There is nothing more exciting than watching a woman find herself! Finally, I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community, coming from a place of acceptance and compassion.

The struggle is real- for all of us. I am committed to helping a person grow toward improved insights and coping skills to resolve their problems and related emotions, in a non-judgmental and supportive manner. My goal is for one to learn more about themselves and to function at a higher level in the whole-person dimensions of their life. Whether one is motivated for short-term and situational concerns, or more internally motivated for deeper understanding of self and life-stage fulfillment, the counselor/ client relationship remains paramount as an agent of change.

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." I am here to help you through the pain and to watch you blossom.

If you're feeling stuck in ineffective patterns, overwhelmed by painful emotions, or blocked from moving forward in an important relationship, let's connect. I support clients in feeling understood as they confront their pain and move towards motivation and change.

We are not what happened to us. We are what we choose to become - Carl Jung. Do you find yourself in a position where you are constantly battling yourself? Do you question who you are, what you need, and how you can feel well? Are you constantly reminded by the past so much that a future of peace seems unimaginable? Or maybe you are concerned about your child. You do your best, but sometimes your best just doesn’t seem good enough. Day-to-day life may be becoming unmanageable.

You may live with an inner critic that is constantly pointing out your insecurities and shortcomings. This persistent negative self-talk and self-judgement may cause you to feel shame and doubt about yourself and lead you, at times, to either avoid situations and people, or push yourself too hard to prove your personal worth. Sitting with someone and sharing your innermost thoughts and insecurities isn't easy and takes both vulnerability and courage. Yet, when you give voice to these negative internal messages you can start to observe them and see them for what they are, thoughts, not facts or truth.

My approach is client-driven and integrative. I start with assessing developmental history, losses and trauma, and behavioral health issues. I then clarify with the client how I can assist them with their identified goals.

The specific type of counseling and therapy I provide will be based on your individual needs. I am a holistic therapist and subscribe to my Native American Forefather's belief that all things are connected. I work with adults, children, and families to assist them in bringing their lives into harmony. I frequently use cognitive/behavioral, play therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing). I specialize in crisis intervention, multi-cultural topics, lifestyle issues, Pathological gambling treatment, HIV/AIDS, debriefing, and attachment. I have worked extensively with people experiencing grief, loss, trauma, anxiety/panic disorders, and depression.

Sometimes life gets complicated and our "go-to" fixes don't work as well. Sometimes we struggle with overwhelming emotions or maintaining successful relationships. Perhaps it's a new problem you're experiencing and you want to learn more about it. Or maybe it's even a probation officer requiring you to do it. Whatever the issue is new or old, finding a therapist is a courageous step to take! I'd be happy to offer you a free phone consultation to help you in finding the right fit.

We work with children, teens, parents, and adults from all walks of life, with all sorts of struggles to gain insight about what you value, who you are, and what matters most. We work best with people who have specific concerns or goals for therapy. Together we work to uncover the driving forces in your lives and how to use your specific strengths, talents, and power to build the momentum to achieve your goals and increase your wellbeing and satisfaction.

My primary goal as a therapist is to provide a safe place for my clients to explore the factors and forces at work in their lives and exert some control over those forces. Only when we participate consciously in the changes within ourselves and the world around us, can we give direction to and exert influence on them. Everyone has a different starting point and desired outcome in therapy, so we will always begin by identifying your individual needs and goals while forming our therapeutic alliance. It is my sincere desire to help people advance past whatever may be hindering their development and peace.

I believe each us embody an innate wisdom and deep knowing of our strengths and beauty. Sometimes when we experience stress or unexpected change we can lose touch with a positive sense of self and the resources that allow us to thrive in a challenging world. A compassionate, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship strengthens our ability to move through some of our most challenging moments. Together, we will create the conditions for vulnerability and authenticity in a mutual effort to undergo the difficult work of personal transformation.
