Professional Counselor

Helping you channel your full potential

Hi, I’m Rochelle! I love working with people and helping them through the tough stuff. 

My Story

I knew I wanted to be a counselor when a mentor told me it was something I might be good at in high school. Years later, after my own “hills and valleys”, I finally achieved that dream.

The challenge of the human experience is that we all experience pain. My pain likely looks a lot different than yours, but pain is universal. I promise to walk through your pain with you, while bringing none of mine to the table. I’ll give you a safe space to be vulnerable with whatever it is that has brought you to my office.

My Values & Beliefs

My approach is based on my Christian beliefs.

The Apostles Creed is a basic outline of what I personally believe. 
      I believe in God the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

While my worldview is based on my Christian beliefs, that does not mean yours is.

My worldview informs my perspective, but I will not insert my personal beliefs into your sessions. Some clients will come to me because of my beliefs while others will prefer to leave them out of it. The sessions belong to you.

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.

People grow in adversity, but they shrink when things become too hard. Trauma, abuse, overwhelming obstacles, and many other things can get in the way of your personal growth. But you are resilient – and through a variety of therapy techniques we can break down those barriers .

My Approach

I use an integrative therapy approach with a base of cognitive behavioral therapy. Depending on the client and situation, I like to adjust which specific techniques I use. 

If you are coming for trauma therapy, we will likely spend a great deal of our time using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This is a specific therapy developed for use with traumas that allows us to retrain the brain to stop focusing on your trauma. We would discuss this further in session.
