A space for real healing, deep growth,& unapologetic authenticity.
Reconnecting with yourself starts here.
Sage & Soul Counseling was founded as a reflection of my deep passion for empowering individuals and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. From the very beginning, I envisioned a practice that honored both the resilience and complexity of the human condition—a space where clients could explore not just their challenges but also their potential for authenticity, self-compassion, and meaningful growth.
My Approach
Therapy with me is a space where you can be real—no judgment, no pressure, just meaningful conversations that help you grow. My approach is active and engaging, blending warmth, curiosity, and directness to support you in your journey.
​
Therapy shouldn’t feel like just talking in circles. I help you untangle unhelpful patterns, gain clarity, and build real, practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. And when it fits, I bring humor—because I believe growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy.​​​​
