For over 13 years, our therapists at Hope for Healing Counseling have focused on developing supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationships with clients and on instilling hope for healing from past trauma and conflict. We are committed to guide and support our clients in each step of the therapeutic process. With care and compassion, we promote our clients' progress as they continuously gain a greater sense of empowerment over their lives. Once trauma is processed, clients are no longer controlled by previous negative, harmful patterns and symptoms such as depression and anxiety. They are able to make positive new choices.

We all carry wounds and pain with us that can weigh us down, preventing us from becoming the person or mother we want to be. The moment we begin to heal those wounds, we blossom and grow into the individual we are capable of becoming. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, angry, stuck, resentful, unable to communicate needs and have positive relationships with others or yourself, you need professional support to help you unravel what is keeping you from reaching your full potential. I have 15 years experience working with mothers, children, families, couples, individuals of all backgrounds.
