Introduction

Hey there! I’m glad you’re here. At Ascending Thoughts Counseling, I believe therapy should give you room to be a whole person—not another place where you have to perform, explain, or shrink yourself. I offer affirming, trauma-informed therapy for BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ adults, with a particular focus on professionals navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, self-doubt, boundaries, and the weight of being the one who is expected to hold it all together. Our work is collaborative and grounded in the belief that you already carry strengths, wisdom, and knowledge about yourself. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious about what is no longer serving you, and explore what it might look like to feel more connected to yourself and your life. I draw from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based practices, while incorporating trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. Your feedback matters, and our work can evolve as your needs do. You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to start where you are. If you’re ready for support that makes room for your full humanity—and for becoming more like yourself rather than someone you think you’re supposed to be—I’d be glad to connect.
