About

The most important thing to know is that this is about you and to know I am committed to respecting you and your process. I will work for you, supporting you at your pace to use counseling to grow personally or professionally. I am honored you are trusting me with being vulnerable by sharing your story and am looking forward to helping you with the next chapter. The sessions and approach will at first be for you to tell me as much as you can about where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to go from here. It will depend on what you want, and therapy should always be about helping you explore the source of pain and process thoughts, feelings, beliefs, choices, and effects on your life. We can develop meaningful strategies from there along with your goals. I can offer different perspectives to help you with internal or external changes. You are the expert on you, but I can help you discover more about your true self, the thinking patterns or core beliefs that keep you feeling stuck, work through shame and complicated feelings, align with your beliefs and spiritual self, practice ways to communicate with others, and changing from the inside out. After more than 13 years of counseling; I believe growth is hard, even painful..... but life is also. We can control how we react to things that happen, processing them, or holding things inside avoiding them which can hurt us and our loved ones more. Are you pretending, running, numbing, or repeating patterns in choices or relationships and suffering because it is scary and hard to look at yourself? The more we ignore things, the stronger they seem to get. But, I believe by honestly sharing you can transform pain, heal from trauma, see more clearly or gain perspective, and change your story to change your life!
