Elevated Counseling
for the searching, the discerning, and those ready to live with depth and direction.
You don’t need more coping strategies.
You need clarity. Connection. A real sense of energy and direction that moves you forward with integrity.
I work with people at thresholds — the end of a chapter, the collapse of an old identity, and the pull toward something more. Our work brings focus, steadiness, and real movement where things have felt uncertain or stuck.
Areas of Focus
This work is for people navigating grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, men’s & women's specific issues, and the deeper thresholds of meaning and direction.
Areas of focus include:
- Depression & Anxiety
- Couples & Relationships
- Grief & Loss
- Parenting, Teens, and Emerging Adulthood
- EMDR & Trauma
- And more complex, treatment-resistant, and serious mental health challenges
