AT EMPOWERED ROOTS COUNSELING, WE VALUE…

  • Choice & Autonomy

    Having the choice and freedom to choose your path and destination is essential to any life work; it's my mission to support your choices.
    I help you build your strengths, healthy beliefs, and positive strategies rather than just extinguishing “negative” behaviors and beliefs.

  • Connection & Safety

    Life events and experiences often disconnect us from ourselves, others, & society. I will hold an attuned and regulated space for you to navigate safely at your own pace, walk beside you as you reconnect with yourself, and explore co-regulation from relationships with caring and supportive individuals.

  • Compassion & Empathy

    When we have the context that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are based on our need to self-protect, we can replace our old narratives with compassion and empathy. Here, you have a safe and supportive space to explore the underlying roots of your struggles and achieve growth toward a beautiful story & life.

Depression Counseling

I will work with you to lessen symptoms, shorten the depression course, and significantly lower the rate of relapse in the future. Let me help you through this time and figure out what is causing and contributing to your depression.

Trauma Counseling

  • Trauma is the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one’s ability to cope and causes short and long-term consequences. We understand the sensitivity of this work. We’ll provide a safe, warm, and compassionate place to process through it. My goal is to utilize your strengths and support you in overcoming your trauma at your own pace.

Grief & Loss Counseling

  • The world as you know it is no longer the same and now you’re expected to adjust, but you’re left mourning and managing a lot of emotions, while it feels like the rest of the world “moves on”. I will help you process your loss and help you learn how to blossom again, even with this missing piece in your world.
