About Onward Leading

Our Practice Is Dedicated to Helping You

Many clients come to us wanting to learn how to deal with their emotions, improve their relationships and be with themselves and the world in a way that brings more inner peace. We are all about teaching you the tools and skills to do this while also pointing you towards your own inner healing intelligence where true transformation begins.  We specialize in working through personal and spiritual growth as well as trauma therapy and mental health treatment, including PTSD, GAD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, and OCD. Our services also encompass alternative treatments such as EMDR intensives, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and Buddhist-based therapy that promotes spiritual transformation and growth, all aimed at fostering a healthier sense of self-worth.

Our 3 step approach is customized to help your move forward:

Step 1: Reveal

Uncover the roots of your struggles; Understand yourself more fully and deeply so that you can overcome self limiting patterns and beliefs.

Step 2: Heal

Heal from past traumas and difficult life experiences that shaped your beliefs and emotions so that you can become more grounded and learn how to respond instead of react.

Step 3: Take Action

Develop a path forward so that you can live a more intentional life, finding inner freedom and peace.
