I specialize in helping my clients forgive those who have harmed them. I utilize a soul-level approach to provide a unique lens through which my clients can access forgiveness in a way that feels personally empowering.
Forgiveness is a profound and liberating journey, one that I, as a therapist, am honored to guide you through. Together, we will address hurts and resentments that prevent you from healing. My approach combines empathy with practical strategies, allowing you to release the burdens of anger and find the strength to forgive, not just for others, but for you. If you're ready to embark on this transformative path towards forgiveness, I am here to provide support, insights, and the therapeutic tools to help you cultivate a sense of closure, healing, and emotional freedom.
Forgiveness is hard. We either do it too fast to try and keep moving forward, and fail to give our feelings the space they needed. Or we never forgive and those feelings settle into our stomach like a stone. Forgiving yourself? That's even harder. We can work on this, I think forgiveness is born out of compassion and empathy for ourselves and others.
One of the hardest things to do as a perfectionist or people-pleaser is learn to be more understanding, validating, and forgiving of your mistakes or when you unintentionally hurt someone's feelings that you love. You deserve to find inner calm and peace by learning how to practice true self-forgiveness. Reach out and I'll show you how!

Embracing forgiveness can be a powerful tool in one’s life journey toward happiness. It is something you may do primarily for yourself. Holding on to past hurt and trauma takes a toll on you psychologically. When you are ready, I will work with you to release past resentment and find some degree of compassion (if that fits for you) toward the one who hurt you. It does not mean condoning the person’s behavior that wronged you. You can forgive a person’s behavior without believing their actions were justified. Many people want to let go of past hurt through forgiveness so that they can experience the freedom that comes with it. Many benefits are obtained such as a reduction in depression, anxiety and resentment.
Forgiveness is more than just forgiving those who have wronged you; it is also about forgiving yourself to be able to move forward. Here at Minaret Therapeutic Services, we will work together on figuring out how to work through those feelings of anger, hurt and sadness so you can see the possibility of forgiveness, not for the person who wronged you, but for yourself so you can move forward with your life. You deserve to feel burden free. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation to get started on your therapeutic journey today!
Forgiveness doesn't mean whoever you need to forgive gets a pass for what they did; it means you release yourself from the emotional prison you have become locked in with this person so you can be free and the people you love can get all of your presence.
Forgiveness is a key element of healing for self and others. I invite you to discover this gift and learn to utilize it for the restoration of yourself and those you love.
Throughout my counseling practice I have worked successfully with people who have experienced problems with depression, anxiety, fears, trauma, relationship difficulties and low self esteem. I will help you gain self-confidence, become more successful and experience more satisfying relationships.
