Do you ever feel like your own worst enemy? Like no matter how hard you try, each day leaves you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or defeated? Maybe your worries keep you feeling trapped, and you're not sure how to break free.

In my group, you’ll discover your inner strengths by learning practical tools to manage stress, work through tough experiences, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.

Hi, I’m Athena (she/her)! I’m a pre-licensed professional counselor passionate about helping people from all walks of life better understand themselves, grow through meaningful connections, and feel truly empowered. Our group sessions are warm, supportive — and yes, we love a good zany icebreaker! From “What’s your favorite comfort food?” to “If you could step into any book or movie world, where would you go?” — we believe healing can include laughter, curiosity, and connection.

Through the Catalyst program, we focus specifically on trauma recovery using a powerful method called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR helps us revisit and reprocess past experiences in a safe way, reducing the emotional charge and making space for healing and peace.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just ready for something to change — you’re not alone. I’d love to welcome you to our group and walk alongside you as you begin this journey toward hope, healing, and self-discovery.
