My Approach to Helping
When life feels overwhelming, having a compassionate partner in healing can make all the difference. With over a decade of experience, I help women find paths to healing and growth individually or in families and relationships. I specialize in trauma and co-occurring disorders (mental health, substance issues, and relationship difficulties), and the unique phases of life women encounter, from motherhood to career shifts to menopause. Together, we’ll work to create lasting change through a safe, supportive, and client-centered approach, whether your journey involves personal growth, overcoming past pain, or rebuilding relationships
My approach emphasizes self-awareness, empowerment, and self-compassion, fostering a space where you can feel safe, heard, and valued. I draw on evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional resilience, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including somatic techniques, to support lasting change. Christian counseling is also available for those who wish to integrate faith.
Taking the first step can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you work through life’s transitions, heal from past pain, and discover a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment. If you’re ready to explore your potential for change, let’s start this journey together—one compassionate step at a time. Blessings, Felisa

I utilize several different therapy modalities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including somatic (body) techniques, helps women identify and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering healthier beliefs and behaviors. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) specifically addresses trauma-related thoughts, empowering women to process their experiences and reduce distress. Exposure Therapy gradually supports women to confront fears in a safe environment, reducing anxiety and building resilience. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips women with skills to manage emotions and improve relationships, focusing on mindfulness and acceptance. Lastly, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages women to embrace their thoughts and feelings while committing to personal values, promoting meaningful living despite challenges. Together, these therapies offer powerful tools for healing and growth.
