Choosing to pursue counseling is a big decision, and I recognize that it takes a lot of courage!

I ‘m so happy you are taking the time to invest in you and consider it an honor to be the one to walk alongside you in this journey to self-discovery, growth, change, and healing.

“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

The Counseling Process: What to Expect  

Welcome! I am so glad you are here.

Although counseling can feel like a big, scary step, the rewards are great! Counseling provides an opportunity to gain insight into your experiences and to who you are, and a place to explore your thoughts and feelings.

By working together you can gain freedom from unhealthy patterns or thoughts that are holding you back. You'll have the opportunity to process past experiences and explore current struggles and build a foundation for a healthier and happier future. Through the process you can develop greater self- awareness and acceptance, improve your relationships and enhance your emotional well being.

I believe counseling is a partnership. My goal is to empower you to develop new perspectives and equip you with the tools necessary for change, but I cannot do that alone. In our sessions, you will find compassion, a place where you are heard and valued. Understanding who my clients are, what they value and want out of life must come first. Then, and only then, am I able to incorporate scientifically proven techniques, chosen for you, that will help you achieve what you are looking for through counseling. The only thing I ask is that clients stay committed to the process, engaging in sessions, being open to exploring new perspectives, learning new tools, and incorporating skills at home, not for my benefit, but for yours!

Everyone Has a Story

We all try to put our best foot forward, but the reality is that our story often has lots of pain, some really tough times, incredibly hard struggles, and seemingly insurmountable challenges.

You may be at a crossroads, trying to cope, feeling defeated, searching for a better way. It can feel downright hopeless.

But the good news is your story isn’t fully written yet, and even though you may not be feeling it; there IS HOPE!

In these times, we can find strength in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Having someone that will walk alongside you, listen to you & hear you can be incredibly helpful. We can help you sort out your strengths, talk through your pain & struggles and develop new skills to cope & move forward.

This is what counseling is all about.
