About Lapis Counseling
Lapis Counseling was founded in 2024 and is dedicated to the wellness of all persons seeking support and mental health services, and all persons are welcome here!
My vision is to help clients explore and accept all parts of themselves, so that you can better embody and live out your truth; the truth of who you are that leads to living an authentic and fulfilling life.
My passion is helping those who are survivors of trauma who are living with post-traumatic stress and dissociative disorders to heal and return to living a full, whole life. I also have specialized in helping those living with ADHD, anxiety, and those struggling with relationship issues.
Through a combination of multiple modalities, including trauma focused-cognitive behavioral techniques (TF-CBT), dialectical behavioral techniques (DBT), mindfulness strategies, cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we will work together to help you understand all parts of yourself so that you are able to feel whole.
