Explore your roots and discover your empowered story.

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.

No matter how long you have been experiencing symptoms, if your stress or anxiety is interfering with your work, social, or family life, I can help! I will support you in managing your anxiety and improving your understanding of it. We custom-tailor our therapeutic approach to each client because your worry is unique to you.

You should feel good about yourself and we have compassion and expertise to get you there!

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.

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.
