When I envisioned this practice, I kept coming back to two moments in the healing journey.
The first is when you find the courage to rise—to take that first step toward change, even when it feels uncertain.
The second is when you begin to restore—reconnecting with your peace, your confidence, and the parts of yourself you thought you’d lost.
At Rise & Restore Counseling, our name reflects that path. We’re here to walk alongside you as you rise above challenges and restore the balance, strength, and hope that help you thrive.

Sessions are a space to talk openly about what’s going on in your life, explore thoughts and feelings, and work toward goals that matter to you. It’s a conversation—not an interrogation.

EMDR is a therapy that helps your brain process past trauma or distressing experiences. By guiding you through memories while using gentle eye movements or taps, EMDR can reduce emotional intensity and help you feel more grounded and in control. At Rise & Restore Counseling, we tailor EMDR to your needs in a safe, supportive space.

Most clients start with weekly sessions, but we can tailor the frequency based on your needs and schedule.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come for a few months to work on a specific issue; others stay longer for deeper work or ongoing support. We’ll figure it out together.

Yes—confidentiality is a core part of therapy. What you share stays between us, with a few legal exceptions (like safety concerns, which I’ll explain up front).

I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, and DBT, but at the core, I focus on building a supportive, authentic relationship with each client.
