She Counseling

Hey there! Here's a glimpse into my journey and the driving force behind my passion for holistic well-being. My path to health has been an ongoing exploration, spanning over more than half my life. At 42, I can honestly say that my experiences have shaped me into the therapist and health coach I am today. Looking back, I vividly remember the struggles I faced in my teenage years with severe anxiety, which manifested as crippling shyness. As I transitioned into college, these anxieties evolved into depression, leading me to adopt unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb the pain.

The turning point came after becoming a mother. Bringing my son into the world was a joyous experience, but it was soon followed by a debilitating illness that persisted for an extended period. I grappled with a myriad of symptoms: migraines, relentless fatigue, nerve pain that radiated through my body, muscle weakness, hair loss, brain fog, and the resurfacing of mental health challenges.

Seeking answers from my primary care physician, I was met with lab results that suggested everything was "fine." My concerns were dismissed, and I was offered medication as a quick fix. This experience ignited a fire within me to understand the intricate connection between my mind, body, and spirit, leading me to embark on a deeper journey of self-discovery and healing.

My Approach: A Holistic Fusion of Therapies

Driven by this profound understanding, I dedicated myself to exploring various therapeutic modalities, ultimately earning my Master's degree in Counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. My 15+ years of experience in the mental health field have solidified my belief in a holistic approach that addresses the multifaceted nature of well-being.

I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking to unravel the root causes of their mental health issues, rather than simply managing symptoms. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, recognizing the profound impact of our physical and emotional states on our mental well-being. I see the powerful connection between your gut and brain and aim to empower you to create lasting change by nurturing your mind-body connection.
