Imagine life is like a journey completely in your control but you feel stuck. Choices you make dictate life’s obstacles and they can be tricky. Life’s journey comes with no instruction pamphlet or ready-made companions. A path unfolds and you decide what to do and who to trust along the way. As you journey you begin to see things you want, potential companions, places you want to explore, and tools you can use to make travels simpler. There are so many choices to make with no time to stop and contemplate the best decision; you have to keep going by making choices every day, about everything. Decisions and deadlines do not wait. Consequences of decisions do not wait for preparations of readiness. Age does not determine how hard life can be nor deter reality. Whether you are age 5 or 95, you have to wake up daily and continue life’s journey, but it is not always an easy task. My theoretical orientation is Person-Centered Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. Let me be your Phoenix! I believe life’s tools are inside of us, self-actualization, self-trust, coping strategies, and the willingness to grow. We simply must explore them. At Rapunzel's Phoenix Counseling Services, I help toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, families, and the LGBTQIAPK community. Online Counseling Services are available upon request.

I show up for my clients with empathy, honesty, and a calm, grounded presence. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of your experiences and supporting you as you build the life you want to live. I bring over six years of experience working with individuals, children, and families navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I began my career as an Intensive In-Home Therapist, where I gained firsthand experience with complex family dynamics, conflict resolution, and the emotional toll of caregiving and stress. That background shaped me into a therapist who listens deeply, sees the full picture, and responds with both compassion and practical tools. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, down to earth, and genuine. I value building a real connection in therapy; one that makes you feel safe enough to be honest, even when it’s hard. I’ll help you learn how to manage overwhelming thoughts, cope with stress, and rediscover your strengths. I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your pace.
