Wholehearted Counseling offers a warm, supportive, and trauma-informed space for high-achieving women navigating trauma, burnout, perfectionism, self-worth challenges, and life transitions. I strive to create a therapy experience that feels collaborative, compassionate, and personalized so clients feel safe showing up authentically without pressure to have everything figured out. If traditional talk therapy hasn't provided you with the long-term change you're seeking, I'd love to support you. I offer free 15-mintute consultations to see if we're a good fit.

Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: My approach blends evidenced-based therapy with somatic-focused care to help clients better understand themselves, heal from painful experiences, and feel more grounded in their daily lives.
