Please consider taking the first step to wellbeing and better relationships by reaching out to learn about pricing and to schedule your first session. Remember you and your relationships matter and you are worthy of all the best life can offer.
Sessions are offered over secure online video, phone, or in person, whichever meets your schedule, comfort level, and needs.
All sexual and gender orientations and presentations of all ages are welcome here at Emerging Hope Counseling. Whether you be questioning or struggling with sexuality or wanting to explore your orientation, therapy is the best place to process. I ensure that you are safe and accepted for who you are and who you want to be in our sessions.
Are you worried about anything related to sex and sexuality? Do you worry you're weird because of certain preferences or needs? I can give you the safe place to talk about your concerns and worries.
I also work with sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse survivors. I work from a trauma informed approach and I'm here to help you to process and work through these difficult experiences. Remember it was not your fault and you're a strong and resilient person for what you have endured.
Life can throw us so many curve balls and stressors can become overwhelming. Therapy can be a wonderful way to help process and navigate through those difficult times.
I work with persons age 18+ of all genders, sexual orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. I am here to help you work through difficulties dealing with stress, self-esteem, trauma, depression, sexuality and gender, self-esteem, self-worth, and relationship concerns.
All types of relationships are welcome whether it be friendships, romantic or platonic partnerships and marriages, as well as, however you identify polyamorous, monogamous, and anything in between.
Our close relationships can bring us so much happiness, love, and joy, but they can also be the source of stress, heartache, and sadness when things aren't going well. We also can get into very difficult patterns that can involve arguments, disagreements, anger, and resentments. Let's be honest, there will always be something that you disagree on, but what makes the difference is HOW you work through those in a healthy and respectful way which leaves all involved feeling heard.
Relationship counseling can help to get you and your partner/partners out of those destructive patterns and work through the difficulties that have been (and those that come) to better your relationship. You don't have to be on the brink of divorce to come for relationship therapy. Sometimes we just need an outside perspective to gain some insights and tools to improve an already healthy and beneficial relationship.
I work with romantic relationships to enhance emotional and physical intimacy and connection. I provide a safe space to help you discuss sexual difficulties, concerns, and desires within the relationship. Whether you be more on the "vanilla" side of the scale to the more kinky side all are welcome.
I also work with couples who have experienced infidelity to help you process to work through the emotions and feelings of betrayal. I can help you to rebuild the trust that has been lost, explore what each of you need to be able to navigate this time, and to strengthen your relationship.
Our families are an integral part of our lives – for better or for worse. Sometimes we can go through difficulties that causes our family to be a source of stress and negativity rather than one of safety and support. We can work together to improve these relationships and to set boundaries for more positive connections.
If there has been estrangement between parent and adolescent (13+) or adult child/children or other members of the family that you would like to repair and reconnect, let us work together to heal your family.
I offer therapy intensives packages (longer sessions for more in depth work). These are 2-4 sessions at 3-4 hours each. If you are interested in doing an intensive as an individual, couple, family, or other relationship types please reach out for package pricing. All packages are paid in full prior to the start of sessions and are non refundable.
