B Love Counseling

With nearly 20 years of experience as a social worker, I believe therapy is an opportunity to examine the patterns, beliefs, and stories that may have once served you but no longer support the life you want to live. Together, we'll explore new ways of understanding yourself, navigating challenges, and creating meaningful change.

I work especially well with adults who are interested in exploring their identities, understanding how family of origin experiences continue to shape their lives, and navigating life transitions such as divorce, co-parenting and custody, parenting, family estrangement, grief, and loss.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I believe that if you've decided to seek therapy, there's a reason. Together we'll focus on what brought you here while building a supportive therapeutic relationship that encourages growth, insight, and lasting change.

I utilize storytelling as a tool for healing. Depending on your goals and needs, I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, family of origin work, harm reduction, and coaching techniques.

One of the core values of my practice is extending ourselves grace. Growth, healing, and change are rarely linear, and they often require patience, courage, and self-compassion. My goal is to both support and challenge you as you rewrite your narrative and move toward a future that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
