Are you seeking a safe space to work through life’s challenges? Original Counseling Services is a private practice that helps people discover the original, authentic, and whole version of themselves through talk therapy.

I use research and faith-based counseling theories to support clients as they regain their balance, find inner peace, heal from traumatic experiences, and develop sustainable coping strategies.

  • Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) experience historical disadvantages and shared trauma that require culturally competent therapeutic approaches. I utilize trauma-informed approaches to help BIPOC individuals develop healthy coping skills to manage stress.

    I am passionate about supporting immigrants because they experience unique challenges in dealing with trauma due to migration difficulties, acculturation issues, and navigating multiple cultural norms and systems.

    Therapeutic Approaches:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    • Family Systems Theory

    • Narrative Therapy

    • Internal Family Systems

    • Mindfulness-Based Therapy

    • Motivational Interviewing

    • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • There is no greater love than to be known. Psalms 139:1 says, "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me." I believe that the more you get to know God and His character, the more He will reveal His original design for your life, guide your steps, and equip you to live for His Glory. 

    Whether you're experiencing stress, navigating relationships, dealing with grief, or seeking spiritual growth, I'm here to journey with you. I strive to help you move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life through personalized care and a combination of evidence-based and faith-informed approaches.
