Find your path to healing.

No one goes through life without adversity. Everyone encounters hardships at times, and we all process pain at different levels. Life brings challenges that can sometimes feel too heavy to carry alone, whether they stem from past experiences, current stress, or simply the complexities of daily life.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but no matter what you may be experiencing, you are not alone and you deserve the opportunity for healing.

Taking the first step is an act of courage and self-compassion.

Here, you’re invited into a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. My role is to walk with you on this journey, offering empathy, guidance, and tools to help you uncover your strengths and find a path toward peace, resilience, and fulfillment.

The essence of therapy at Heartcore.

What to Expect

At Heartcore, therapy is based on a trauma-informed, holistic approach that aims to restore balance to all aspects of wellness.

This process is personalized and collaborative, designed to support your unique journey.

Each session fosters a supportive, nurturing environment where you can expect to feel acknowledged, understood, and validated. We will progress at the pace you set, never moving ahead before you are ready.

As a client, you are encouraged to consider the entire self. This includes sleep patterns,  nutrition,  exercise,  environment, stress levels,  medical history, social interactions, and other influences impacting your relationships, mood, and daily functioning.

A total approach to wellness involves going beneath the surface to uncover the underlying themes and root issues of your concerns.

Together, we’ll explore the true source of psychological distress, physical discomfort, or unhealthy behaviors to identify what might be keeping you from living the life you desire.

Throughout our therapeutic relationship, we will work to create intentions that nourish a healthier mindset, lifestyle practices, and patterns of behavior.

As we navigate this path together, you will gain insights that empower you to bring meaningful, lasting change.
