Unlock Your Potential with Seeds of Wellness Counseling Services
It’s not your fault! Many people struggle to build the relationships they desire, not because they are flawed, but because they haven't been taught the necessary skills for navigating differences. Too often, each partner silently suffers while self-sacrificing their needs. It’s not sustainable or fun. After the honeymoon period of a relationship which is “our best self” jacked up on love hormones comes the power struggle phase. This is the phase where most breakups and divorces happen. Or the couple may stay together but fight for thirty years; they are still in the power struggle phase.

With a master's degree in counseling, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, an undergraduate background in Human Development, my professional journey has been deeply rooted in understanding and nurturing human relationships. I am currently advancing my expertise through the Couples and Sex Therapy program and am on the path to achieving AASECT certification, having already completed a Kink Informed Certification with the Sexual Health Alliance.
For nearly thirty years, I have immersed myself in the study of relational dynamics, beginning in my earlier career as a hairdresser where I was privy to countless personal stories of both profound joy and deep sorrow related to relationships. This unique perspective has enriched my therapeutic approach, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeply empathetic level.
I employ a diverse array of methods to help my clients navigate their relationships, including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion focused, person-centered, multicultural, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Attachment, and roleplay. Integrative therapy can be intensive, outcome-focused, and flexible, and it can provide clients with a variety of therapeutic tools and strategies. Whether you're looking to heal old wounds or enhance closeness and joy in your relationships, I'm here to support you.
