Whole Hearts Counseling provides compassionate and strength-based therapy to support you in living life wholeheartedly. Many of my clients have been very diligent in their healing process and have explored a wide array of services from yoga to acupuncture and everything between! Though they have experienced some sense of “better”, they do not feel entirely whole or fully settled in their bodies. With compassion and humor (Yes, humor! We are allowed to have fun on this journey of healing), we begin to explore with curiosity what may be blocking the ability for you to shift into greater connection with self and others.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy before but are now looking for something that goes deeper? Maybe life has forced you to slow down due to the loss of a loved one or another significant change. Perhaps you’ve just come to realize that despite all this go-go-go, you actually feel like you’re still lacking direction, purpose, and deep connection with yourself and those close to you. You don’t want to have to “rehash” the past or revisit every detail of what you’ve experienced, but you know that life can feel different than it does today. You believe long-term change is possible…you just need some help getting there.

I believe that everyone deserves the chance to build a life that they look forward to living, and I am passionate about working with clients to gain the tools they need to achieve this. Life is too precious to allow for painful past experiences and traumas to control you, troubling interpersonal challenges to hinder you, or to experience anxiety, anger and sadness more often than true happiness. Making the decision to seek out therapy can be difficult as is, so my goal as your therapist is to meet you where you are at and help you determine what your specific goals are and how we can achieve them.
