Safe Harbor Counseling and Consultation

Our Story

Safe Harbor by definition means a “space of protection”. I started Safe Harbor Counseling in 2012 as a therapeutic practice to provide a safe place for children and their families to do the work needed to achieve their treatment goals. As I continued my work in the larger system I realized the importance of this “safe harbor” for many of the settings that are set up to support our most vulnerable children and families.

I have found that creating safety in relationship is crucial to help us reach our goals. My business was created so I can partner with you to help you achieve your goals so that you/your organization/ program can become the best version of itself. In order to do that it requires the capacity to look inward and grow so that we can offer our best selves to our personal and professional relationships. As we embark on a time where emotional intelligence is crucial to mental health It is through this safety in relationship that you can create life changing transformational change.

I am passionate about supporting a continuum of care for our children and families. Often times we provide wonderful services in a silo. The intent behind Safe Harbor Counseling is to support a system of care where we work together and lean in to the power of unity to support our community’s mental health.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support the shift to a system that is trauma informed, emotionally intelligent and solution focused. We value the individual experience and take into consideration that we are all in this together and interconnected.
