I think it’s important that you know who I am as a therapist, but also as a person. I also think it’s important that you know how Rise and Renew came to be!
So, who am I? Such a hard question for me to answer. Is it hard for you to answer too? I’m a person of strong faith…Non-judgmental, empathetic, a caring spirit, and brutally honest (wrapped in love though). I ask hard questions, and hold people accountable (at their request).
I’ve served in public education in the Gulf Coast area for 20+ years, working with students (and their families) ranging from 4 years of age, up to 18. I am a former teacher and a current school counselor.
Rise and Renew came after a long journey of self-discovery, and processing my own experiences. I never saw myself as a therapist, but if you ask my friends, they’d tell you otherwise. I believe we all have struggles, and while we may want to avoid the struggle, it’s often the struggle that puts us in the uncomfortable place of growth.
Rise and Renew Counseling and Consulting, PLLC is a place of growth, both mine, and hopefully yours too. If you’d allow me, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your journey!
