BrightLife Therapy: Empowering Individuals and Couples Towards Healing

Brightlife Therapy PLLC’s mission is to help those going through dark or difficult times; providing clients support, guidance, and encouragement toward a more positive and hopeful future.

I believe the client is the expert of their lives, and as your therapist, I want to help you explore and embrace your unique identities, values, and cultural influences as integral parts of your healing journey.

Start Your Healing Journey to Brighter Days ♡

I believe healing and recovery take place in the context of relationships, with ourselves and others. That’s why I seek to help my clients understand how past experiences have shaped their lives, and give them tools to increase their overall well-being.

As your therapist, I’ll be helping you increase your self-awareness, so you can identify and understand ways in which your current situations, behaviors, and patterns help or hinder your life.

My goal is to help clients feel empowered and improve their lives.

Not only with yourself, but with your loved ones too. I believe the path to do so is to explore, acknowledge and validate your feelings & experiences – as well as discover ways to improve your circumstances and perspective.

Whenever you’re ready to make this positive change in your life, feel free to reach out to me any time! ♡

We can hop on a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’d be a good fit to work together!

FAQs

Choose online therapy and mental health services when you need convenient access, flexibility in scheduling, and a comfortable environment for seeking support. It's also beneficial for those who prefer remote options or have difficulty accessing traditional in-person therapy.
Studies suggest that sessions every two weeks can keep things on track (Norcross, 2011), but I recommend starting weekly to really hit the ground running. From there, you can easily space things out as you progress—bi-weekly or monthly, it’s totally up to you! Most clients start strong with weekly sessions and gradually space them out as their symptoms improve, while also applying what they've learned to maintain progress.
