Hello, I’m Celeste

I find it deeply fulfilling to support individuals, couples, families, and communities in deepening connection, clarity, and understanding. My focus is on healing trauma and fostering secure attachment, to encourage growth, resilience, clarity, and trust.

In our sessions, we slow down to listen beneath the surface. We notice what feels alive, tender, heavy or what might need attention. I help people listen to and trust something wise and deep within themselves.

This process is deeply personal to me, and through the years I’ve learned that each of us encounters moments of struggle, grief, heartbreak, times we feel stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or even in crisis. I help people be with their feelings and allow a gentle life-giving wisdom to emerge.

I see every person I meet as having a deep reservoir of strength and wisdom within themselves. As your therapist, I’ll walk alongside you as we uncover what matters most to you, clarify your current life intentions and aspirations, and explore your reservoir within.

I offer a place of deep care and support. I ask for emotional honesty and courage so that together, we can create a space where you can hear your own heart wisdom, intuition, truth, guidance, and love.

I often lean into the healing power of expressive arts, community, mindfulness, meditation, and play. I enjoy working with people of all ages: children, tweens, teens, young adults, and adults. My approach is warm, grounded, spacious, and creative.

I live in Western North Carolina surrounded by the wisdom of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with my partner, Brian and our cat Pixel. I also serve on the board of directors for Essence of the Butterfly, a camp for kids located in Safety Harbor, FL, focused on mindfulness, art, nature, and play.

If you have any questions at all, or are curious about what counseling could be like for you, call me. I’d love to talk with you.
