Areas of Expertise
Counseling Services
At LiveWell Counseling, I specialize in providing a range of therapeutic services personalized to meet your individual needs. Below are some examples of the blend of therapies I use to meet you where you are at. The warm and caring environment invites you to explore your challenges and emotions with guidance and support. I offer trauma-informed individual and couples therapy, in-person and virtual, along with walk-and-talk therapy.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy is a compassionate approach that puts you at the heart of the healing process. It emphasizes understanding and acceptance, allowing you to explore your feelings and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. This therapy fosters a genuine relationship between you and your therapist, encouraging personal growth and self-discovery. With empathy and respect, person-centered therapy helps you find your own path to well-being and fulfillment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of my practice. It helps clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replace them with healthier ones. I’m here to support you as you make sense of your thoughts and feelings with greater clarity.
Trauma-Informed Care
My trauma-informed approach recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and emphasizes safety, choice, and empowerment in the therapeutic process. We provide a safe space for healing and growth, allowing you to process your experiences at your own pace.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured approach to couples therapy that emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and attachment. It aims to help partners identify and understand their emotional responses and interactions, fostering a deeper bond and improving communication. By addressing the underlying emotional patterns that contribute to relationship distress, EFT guides couples towards healing and reconnection. This therapeutic process ultimately empowers individuals to express their needs and feelings in a supportive environment, enhancing intimacy and resilience in their relationships.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a collaborative approach that explores how past experiences, relationships, and patterns may influence your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal is to support greater self-understanding, emotional awareness, and meaningful personal growth.
Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy
I use Gottman-informed couples therapy to help partners strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and deepen their connection. My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on building healthier patterns that support lasting relationships.
My Approach to Therapy
At LiveWell Counseling, I believe you are not defined by what has happened to you. Your experiences are part of your story, but they do not determine your worth, your identity, or your future. In my own story, the personal experience of being heard, deeply known, and understood brought healing and hope, which is now why it is my joy to offer that experience to others. My approach is to personalize your therapy to who you are as a person - your personality, your values, your learning style, and your experiences!
My passion is helping people heal from past wounds, understand themselves more deeply, and rediscover the hope, purpose, and connection that make life meaningful. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create space for growth and transformation.
I believe every person is created with inherent value and purpose. These core values shape the way I see people—with dignity and compassion—while honoring each person's unique experiences, core values, strengths, and personal goals. At LiveWell Counseling, my hope is to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to a Life Well Lived!
