Forgiveness is not about excusing or forgetting the pain inflicted, rather, it is a process of liberation that allows you to release the burdens of resentment and anger. Through compassionate dialogue and evidenced-based techniques we will work together to understand the impact of your experiences, navigate your feelings, and develop healthier perspectives. My goal is to empower you to embrace forgiveness as a tool for emotional freedmen helping you cultivate peace, resilience, and positive relationships moving forward.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, B.S.Nursing, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling,
I help clients explore forgiveness in a way that honors the depth of their hurt while making room for healing and freedom. Therapy can help you work through anger, resentment, betrayal, and unresolved pain without minimizing what happened or losing healthy boundaries.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the language. It gets deployed as a demand — as though the person who was hurt owes the one who hurt them a resolution. Real forgiveness, when it comes, is not a decision. It is something that happens when a person has been allowed to fully inhabit their anger, their grief, the reality of what was taken. You cannot skip to the end. The therapeutic work is in everything that comes before — the parts no one wants to stay with.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Forgiveness for high-performing men is rarely about forgiving others — it's about releasing the self-criticism, shame, and resentment they've been carrying for years without ever examining the weight. I work with men through Character Driven Therapy to explore what forgiveness actually means, what makes it feel impossible, and how holding onto resentment and self-blame quietly erodes the internal stability they've worked so hard to build. Forgiveness isn't weakness — it's one of the most demanding things a driven man can choose to do.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with forgiveness, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to understand the root causes of their struggles with forgiveness, such as past traumas or deeply held beliefs. I offer techniques and strategies to help them process their emotions, including mindfulness, journaling, and guided imagery. We also explore the concept of empathy, helping patients understand the perspective of the person who wronged them. Together, we identify and challenge any barriers to forgiveness, such as resentment or fear of vulnerability. My goal is to empower patients to find their own path to forgiveness, whether it involves reconciliation or simply letting go of negative emotions and moving forward with their lives.
