Your Journey Towards Wellness

“A ship is safest at harbor, but that is not what ships are built for.” - John A. Shedd.

This simple yet poignant quote is the inspiration behind the name Voyage Counseling. Meaningful growth often asks us to move beyond what is familiar and comfortable, and to remain present through life’s roughest waters. While this work is deeply personal, it is not meant to be done alone. A supportive therapeutic relationship, grounded in trust, care, and mutual respect, will make change possible. I invite you to join me in thoughtfully exploring what will be most helpful for you, as we work toward greater balance, clarity, and inner harmony.

Services

Internal Family Systems

I am trained as an IFS Informed Clinician. Internal Family Systems shares many parallels with practices like EMDR, Brainspotting, and other trauma treatments. IFS is a cutting edge theory that asks each of us to embrace ourselves with compassion and grace. It is a practice that makes self-forgiveness possible and, in turn, allows self-confidence to flourish in ways you hadn’t been aware.

Here are just a few of the many things that working together with a parts frame can allow us to accomplish:

  • Reduce the intensity of anxiety and depression symptoms

  • Increase courage and confidence, bolstering one’s self-worth

  • The ability to form clear, respectable boundaries with those around us

  • Move toward and heal the very roots of past traumas

Therapy is my passion and a craft I’ve been honing with deep respect and care since 2021. When we meet, you will find that I take a judgement-free stance and approach every new issue we face together with compassion, wit, and tact. Starting therapy is no small feat. I look forward to walking with you toward deeper connection and the inner harmony you’ve been seeking. I look forward to being with you.
