Great to meet you!

I believe that therapy is for everybody. For me, therapy is a process. My approach is client-centered, and I am warm, empowering, and affirming. You will find a safe place to explore, express, and process your needs, and you will be free to discuss anything in as much or as little detail as is comfortable for you. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that meets your needs and guides you toward healing and growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My theoretical approach is client-centered. I come from a Jungian perspective and believe that it takes time to discover and express your needs; growth and healing take place best in a safe environment and in a therapeutic alliance with an understanding and empowering counselor.

What you can expect from our first session

At your first session, we will complete some paperwork, discuss your reason for coming to counseling, explore your personal history that is pertinent to successful counseling, and begin identifying a specific goal for your journey. The first session will always be different from the rest of your sessions, as it is the start of the client-therapist relationship. Your therapist is paving the way and creating a specific counseling approach catered just to you and your needs.

As we move along in the journey towards a healthier you, each session may be different, though your needs will always be at the center. Together, we will work toward your identified therapeutic goal. Some days you will find coping strategies, while other days will be more about self-discovery as you learn about yourself and begin to grow into the best version of you.

Strong DADs - Strong Families

Healing the past. Changing the future

In the USA today, men & fathers face a complex landscape marked by societal pressures and internal struggles that challenge their ability to thrive & parent effectively.

Cultural narratives often portray men negatively, labeling masculinity as toxic, which undermines their confidence & creates a sense of vilification for traditional male roles. Many men grapple with a lack of positive role models, leaving them uncertain about how to embody strength, responsibility, and emotional authenticity in a rapidly changing world.

This isn’t just about Fatherhood. It’s about you!

You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You’re carrying pain that was never yours to begin with.

At Pheonix Rising Counseling & Coaching, we help men heal wounds they never asked for - and build the kind of life and legacy they can be proud of.
