Find Calm. Embrace Change.
Ebbs and flows of life are inevitable, but how we perceive and respond to them are not.
Empowering Tides Counseling creates a safe environment for change while increasing mind, body, spirit awareness and connection.
I help individuals as well as couples to become their best selves by discovering their strengths, improving communication, setting boundaries and creating balance.
What to expect
I take a holistic approach to helping clients on their journey toward healing and growth. In session, I provide a consistent, nonjudgemental and empathetic space. Being attachment informed helps when exploring past experiences and how those have shaped and molded our current ones. My eclectic background of teaching, treatment coordination and church work has provided me with over twenty years of experience helping people find their voice and discover who they are. I’m here to listen, guide, and empower.
You don’t have to go on this journey alone. Guidance and a listening ear can spark real change.

Couples
Couples can expect a space where each individual voice is heard and validated. The role of the Couples Counselor is to look out for the best interest of the couple. Keeping in mind that each individual should be “fed” and healthy in order for the couple to be at its healthiest.
Every couple is unique and brings their own set of strengths and challenges to the table. Communication is one of the main issues where couples need more practice. Using each couple’s own set of experiences, this skill will be modeled and taught.
I am trained in Prepare/Enrich ~ “The goal of the program is to help premarital couples prepare for marriage and married couples enrich their marriage by increasing their awareness of relationship strengths and growth areas and providing them with skills to improve their relationship.”
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
