      <image:title>About iRise - With a career spanning over 28 years in the mental health field, I have dedicated much of my professional journey to supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My early years as a school social worker provided me with the opportunity to walk alongside individuals during important developmental stages, and I have continued this work through my roles as a mental health support specialist and therapist. Throughout my career, I have found deep fulfillment in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive space where healing and growth can take place. My approach emphasizes the connection between mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic practices with mindfulness and holistic wellness approaches, including meditation, breath work, and other grounding techniques, when aligned with each individual’s values and goals. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. It is my privilege to walk alongside each individual on their unique journey toward greater self-awareness, healing, and overall wellness.</image:title>
