Empowered –>>> Connected –>>> Whole
Compassionate, collaborative therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples seeking healing, connection, and alignment.
Therapy Rooted in Getting Back to Who You Were Designed to Be
It is my belief that all people have to core needs: empowerment and connection. And we are designed for this and for aligning ourselves with what real, true, and matters to each one of us. This also involves building community. When we are living authentically we are empowered to connect with both ourselves and people. My approach entails working with clients to ensure those needs are met.
At Empowered by Design, therapy is a collaborative process centered around your unique path. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples who are seeking support in healing past wounds, grounding in their authentic selves, and having the relationships they desire. Together, we explore what matters most to you and create a space where meaningful change can unfold.
Emphasis is placed firstly that clients feel truly listened to and deeply understood. We work to explore what influences the way one sees themselves and the world around them, while recognizing their strengths and seeing their worth. I aspire to provide practical tools for application outside of our sessions, where true progress takes place, while also placing emphasis on supporting clients in caring for themselves. We can work together to address therapy from a holistic standpoint. This includes focusing on body, mind, and spirit in ways that align with your values.
No two people are the same and a personalized experience is a primary concern in my practice. The course we follow is based on the client’s wishes. Each session is tailored to your goals as we examine patterns, clarify direction, and build the skills needed for long-term growth. Therapy is a personal journey in which I will travel alongside you.
