Meet Our Team

Do you feel tired and overwhelmed?

You are fed up and tired of putting up fires.

It’s exhausting.

Everyone needs you, there is a ton to do, and it feels like your are filling an empty hole.

It feels as you are the one giving, and not receiving.

You are done.

You are sick and tired of being in this non-stop spin cycle that never ends.

You have an idea of where to do, but it feels that no matter what you do, your energy and focus is drained from one place or another.

Meet the Team

Specialized Therapy

At Created to Shine Counseling, therapy is more than just a place to talk — it’s a safe space to work through the thoughts, feelings, and past experiences that may be weighing you down.

Here, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. Our team is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a specialized trauma therapy designed to help you process and heal from painful memories and emotional triggers.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or the impact of past trauma, EMDR allows us to get to the root of what you’re feeling so you can experience true relief and lasting change.

Together, we’ll uncover what’s beneath the surface, helping you feel more grounded, calm, and in control in your day-to-day life.

You were created to shine — and we’re here to help you heal and grow into that truth.

What to Expect From Your Therapy Process

Step I: Make a call

Schedule a free 10 minute consultation with any of us. We get to answer any questions you may have and help you decide if we are the right therapist for you. We have other therapist to choose from if needed.

Step 2: Schedule Ist Session

We will begin meeting and we will provide assessments to get to know you a bit more after each session. We will begin to identify areas that you want to work on and making a plan for change.

Step 3: See Change

As you emerge in the therapy process, you will begin to see the world in a different way. You will begin to see a “pre-therapy” you and start to notice the small little changes that make a difference.
