Valiant Minds Counseling, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances or struggles, has a valiant mind. Therefore, I believe that each of my clients are the experts of their own life and that my job is to meet each client wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them in order to help facilitate growth and change. In 2004, I graduated from Chatham University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and have since gained extensive experience in the treatment of adult and childhood psychological and neurobehavioral disorders. My sessions predominantly use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, where I help my clients to understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. I also use other psychotherapy techniques that provide comprehensive perspectives to my clients and enhance mind, body such as positive psychology, existentialist philosophy, and mindfulness meditation. My goal is to help my clients broaden their awareness, challenge problematic patterns, learn healthy coping skills, live mindfully and confidently, and seek their unique version of joy. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.

Elements Counseling and Wellness Spa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LPC, LCSW, LSW, LAPC,
We believe healing isn’t always quiet—it’s about being bold, being unapologetically you, and finally letting your body release the weight it’s been carrying. By blending compassionate psychotherapy with restorative somatic care like halotherapy and deep muscle compression, we help you process trauma in a way that truly sticks. Our sanctuary is a safe, fiercely inclusive haven built for marginalized voices and the queer community, where you’ll feel the relief of a warm blanket the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re navigating trauma, neurodiversity, or sex therapy, you don't have to carry your story alone anymore. You’re home—come in, exhale, and let’s start your next chapter together.
