Meet Loveth

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, grieving a loss, or noticing patterns in your relationships that you want to change, we can start with what feels most pressing to you. As a licensed mental health counselor, I use a warm, collaborative approach to trauma counseling, making room for both reflection and practical steps you can use between sessions. In our first session, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ll help guide the conversation. Together, we’ll set goals that are meaningful to you and move at a pace that feels manageable.
