Hello

As it is with counseling, my path to becoming a licensed counselor was never “linear”.  In fact, coming from a small town and without the financial security, college was never a talked about option.  However, this was part of my growth.  As I grew into my path and started authoring my story, I participated in ways to expand my knowledge that coordinated with my beliefs and values.  I surrounded myself with those who nurtured my goals.  I opened myself to listening to my younger self, to learning from my clients.  As these new chapters were being written, my purpose expanded.  My goals became greater ideas for how I define health and wellbeing and what a community might look like if health was prioritized over dis-ease.   I knew the direction I wanted my story to go, and so I continued by using hope and gratitude to turn my dreams into my story.  I began to create an organization that would embrace these ideas of wellbeing.  I started growing my network to plant those seeds of embodiment and wholeness and health.  And now here we are, a team of committed, licensed and certified individuals who are honored to walk with you on your journey toward holistic wellbeing.  No requirements-- Come As You Are, whole body, whole you!

​

What you would say to someone who is on the fence about participating in therapy:

​Encouraging them to come from a place of curiosity versus self-judgment, I would say, “Notice what parts of your body feel like you connect to this idea of living into wellness and growth as a felt experience.  What parts of your body are saying yes or maybe?  Any part that feels safe enough in your body to experience this idea of renewal or wholeness.”

​

acceptance, compassion, curiosity
