Sunflower Counseling PLLC

“I want to be like a sunflower;

so that even on the darkest days

I will stand tall and find the sunlight.”

Welcome

Life can be incredibly beautiful, and it can also bring challenges that feel difficult to navigate on your own. Recognizing when you could benefit from additional support takes courage and strength—and reaching out is an important step.

My approach to therapy combines evidence-based techniques with genuine compassion and a deep passion for helping others. It is a privilege to walk alongside each individual on their mental health journey, offering support, understanding, and practical tools along the way. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move toward meaningful growth and positive change.

While I have been blessed with a wonderful life, I have also had my own personal experience with mental health difficulties. I share this to let you know that we’ve all got ‘stuff’ and this a judgement-free, safe space. I’m coming from a place of deep understanding, lived experience and compassionate support.

Christian Based Counseling

My faith has been an important and grounding part of my life, and I recognize that spirituality can be a meaningful source of strength and support for many people. If Christian-based therapy is something you’re interested in, I’m happy to incorporate faith into our work together in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.

At the same time, there is never any pressure to incorporate religion into therapy. If you prefer to keep faith and spirituality separate from our sessions, I completely respect that. My goal is to meet you where you are and create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and supported.
