At
ACACIA RISING
COUNSELING, I offer individual, couple, and
family therapy using a strength-based solution-focused
approach grounded in multiple theoretical perspectives, including
experiential, emotion-focused, attachment, and systems models. I
specialize in empowering individuals, families, and couples in:
ending and healing family trauma and violence (physical, emotional,
spiritual, sexual); repairing relationships damaged by affairs,
addictions, violence, loss; rebuilding relational trust and
integrity; and cultivating and maintaining meaningful, connected, and
balanced lives.
At ACACIA RISING
COUNSELING, I recognize that each individual, couple, and family
is unique, and I work with the client to negotiate a plan that is
tailored to meet their needs. I do not limit the definition of
family to marital or genetic associations. I welcome
diversity, and do not discriminate based on age, gender, race,
class, culture, or sexual orientation. |
