Are you struggling with difficult life transitions, depression, & anxiety?

I offer a collaborative approach to create a unique treatment plan tailored to your needs.

My personal mission in counseling is to empower, inspire, and educate clients to overcome barriers to improve their psychological well-being and quality of life. Counseling is a caring and powerful way to help people. It's based on the idea that every person has value and the ability to bounce back from tough times. My company, Empathic Empowerment Counseling, PLLC provides services with the same passion and each counselor was trained by me or Dr. Lucy Parker-Barnes during their graduate education and post-clinical supervision.

I support individuals and families on their paths towards greater self-understanding, acceptance and awareness. I emphasize resilience as advocated by schools of positive psychology, mindfulness and a wellness model of therapy. I work closely with clients to identify and unravel the distortions in their perception and communication which interfere with healthy relationships and a healthy sense of self.

As a therapist, I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities to address the unique needs of each individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary modality I utilize to help individuals address and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. I often use CBT to help individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mood-related disorders. Person-centered and humanistic approaches are grounded in empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard.

Our therapists focus on mental health from a holistic perspective meaning that we view people, their problems, and effective treatment from a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual perspective.

Their issues fall under the categories of self-esteem, stress and/or mood management, behavioral issues, trauma and PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, grief, family conflict, LGBT+ interest topics, and spirituality and faith topics.
