About Me

Hi, I'm Phaedra (pronounced Fay-druh).

I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of their experiences and emotions. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling out of balance, counseling can provide a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in curiosity. I believe meaningful change happens when we have space to explore our experiences openly, without judgment, and feel supported in the process.

I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. Many of my clients are women and mothers, and I also enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals and families, as well as those navigating complex family dynamics, including estrangement.

I value a whole-person approach to healing and am committed to continuing my education in integrative mental health. As I continue to grow professionally, I plan to pursue certification in somatic therapy and integrative mental health while deepening my understanding of the connection between the mind and body. I also have a growing interest in supporting individuals healing from religious or spiritual trauma.

Temperance & Bloom reflects the vision of my future counseling practice, centered on balance, growth, and intentional living. While I'm currently completing my clinical training as a counseling intern at The Healing Collective under professional supervision, my hope is to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
