Inner Peace Coaching & Counseling
Compassionate coaching and counseling to help you thrive.
About Us
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping others navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, supportive relationships.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and self-worth, blending techniques like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to meet you where you are. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and encouragement.
Mission: To provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can heal, grow, and thrive. We are committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
Philosophy: Therapy should feel like a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, heard, and respected. We believe that healing begins in relationship—with ourselves and with others. Using evidence-based approaches rooted in empathy, We support clients in reconnecting with their strengths, rewriting unhelpful narratives, and creating lasting change.
Promise: We promise to meet you with warmth, respect, and nonjudgmental presence. Your experience, pace, and needs will always guide our work together. We will hold space for your story while equipping you with the tools, insights, and support to move forward authentically and empowered.
Guarantee: While no therapist can guarantee specific outcomes, we can guarantee this: we will show up fully, listen deeply, and walk alongside you with compassion and professionalism. You will never have to face your healing alone—we will honor your courage every step of the way.
We'RE HERE TO HELP
Seeking support takes courage—and it’s a powerful first step toward healing. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, battling self-doubt, or carrying the weight of past trauma, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
We offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely, feel heard, and explore your experiences at your own pace. The goal is to walk alongside you as you work through life’s challenges and begin to reconnect with your sense of self, clarity, and purpose.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety & Panic
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, or a racing mind. Panic may involve sudden, intense fear, often accompanied by physical symptoms like a pounding heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness. Together, we’ll explore the root of your anxiety, identify your triggers, and develop calming strategies that help you feel more in control of your body and mind.
Depression & Mood Concerns
Depression is more than just feeling sad—it can feel like a heavy fog that impacts your energy, motivation, relationships, and ability to enjoy life. Mood concerns may also include irritability, emotional numbness, or mood swings. Therapy can help you understand these feelings, make sense of your emotional patterns, and rediscover hope and joy in daily living.
PTSD & Trauma
Trauma—whether from a single event or repeated experiences—can leave lasting emotional and physical effects. PTSD may include flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or feeling emotionally stuck. I offer a gentle, trauma-informed approach (including EMDR) to help you process past pain, reduce emotional distress, and move toward healing at your own pace.
Family Issues
Family relationships can be a source of love—but also stress, conflict, or pain. Whether you’re navigating boundaries, unresolved conflict, communication challenges, or generational patterns, therapy can provide a safe space to explore your role in your family system and learn healthier ways to connect, cope, and communicate.
Self-Esteem & Identity
How we see ourselves shapes how we experience the world. Struggles with self-esteem or identity may show up as self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, or confusion about who you are and where you belong. In therapy, we’ll work on building self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the confidence to live a life that feels authentic and empowering.
Other Needs
Everyone’s story is different, and not every struggle fits neatly into a box. If you're dealing with stress, grief, life transitions, burnout, or something that’s hard to put into words, know that your experience is valid—and you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide a supportive space to talk through whatever is on your mind and work together toward relief, clarity, and meaningful change.
What to expect
Your therapeutic experience will be built around compassion, safety, and progress at your pace. We’ll work together to make sense of what’s weighing you down—and build the resilience and self-compassion needed to move forward with peace and strength.
READY TO GET STARTED?
You deserve to feel whole again. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, we invite you to reach out. We’d love to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
Services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a one-on-one space where you can speak freely, reflect deeply, and focus entirely on your personal growth. In our sessions, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are shaping your life—without judgment.
Whether you're working through anxiety, past trauma, low self-esteem, or simply seeking clarity, our work together will be guided by your goals, at your pace.
Each session is tailored to support your healing, resilience, and emotional well-being.
Couples & Family Therapy
Couples and Family sessions offer a supportive, neutral space to strengthen your connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges together.
Whether you're facing conflict, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting to deepen your bond, our sessions will focus on understanding each individual’s needs and fostering healthier ways to relate collectively.
We guide you with empathy and structure to help everyone feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow—individually and as a team.
Clinical Supervision
As a clinical supervisor, we offer supportive, reflective, and growth-oriented supervision for emerging mental health professionals. The approach is collaborative and grounded in ethical practice, self-awareness, and professional development.
Whether you're working toward licensure or looking to strengthen your clinical skills, we provide a safe space to explore your cases, deepen your confidence, and develop your unique therapeutic voice.
Supervision with us is not just about meeting requirements—it's about becoming the kind of clinician you’re proud to be.
