- You look like you're holding it together, but inside you're exhausted.
- Your mind never seems to shut off.
- You've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you're not even sure what you need anymore.
- You and your partner love each other, but lately it feels like you're roommates, teammates, or two people constantly missing each other.
Therapy with me isn't about sitting across from someone who silently nods while you do all the work. We'll get curious about the patterns underneath what's happening, understand where they came from, and figure out what you actually want to do differently.

I'm a real person first and a therapist second, and I'll tell you that upfront. I talk with my hands, my face gives everything away, and I believe it's my humanity, not just my training, that makes this work meaningful.
I specialize in working with couples who have built a life together but somewhere along the way lost each other in it. And with individuals carrying anxiety, self-worth struggles, and trauma they've never had space to fully set down.
I use EMDR and evidence-based approaches, but more than any technique I believe in the relationship we build together. I'll meet you exactly where you are and when the moment calls for it, I'll gently call you out.
Because you deserve someone who's actually in it with you.

Good Faith Estimate:
If you don’t have health insurance or you plan to pay for health care bills yourself, generally, health
care providers and facilities must give you an estimate of expected charges when you schedule an
appointment for a health care item or service, or if you ask for an estimate. This is called a “good faith
estimate.” Rising From Within LLC ( Rising From Within Counseling ) will provide an annual good faith estimate to any client planning to pay for therapy without the use of insurance.
