About me
I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where individuals and couples can explore their experiences, gain insight, and create meaningful change in their lives. For couples seeking support, I provide an environment that encourages open communication, understanding, and renewed connection. Through collaborative work, we will address relationship challenges, strengthen communication skills, and foster a deeper sense of connection that supports mutual growth and overall well-being.
As a compassionate counselor, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to my work with clients. I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and I strive to provide a safe, nurturing space where healing and growth can unfold at your own pace.
Hello, my name is Connie. I am a dedicated therapist who uses client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-focused approaches, thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, family concerns, and the unique experiences and challenges within the LGBTQ+ community.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—it often means facing pain, embracing vulnerability, and choosing to invest in yourself. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering a supportive and therapeutic space to explore patterns, overcome obstacles, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic version of yourself.
