About
My counseling style is relational, compassionate and gently direct. I believe we all have needs in our life such as the needs to experience a sense of belonging and acceptance, value and worth. I can help you become more aware of what needs you and significant others in your life have, how you are currently trying to satisfy those, and explore alternative means to fulfilling those if appropriate. This can help with improving mood, enhancing relationships, decreasing anxiety, and improving overall life satisfaction.
Whether working with individuals or couples, we often work to enhance self identity, strengthen emotional maturity, better understand the messages received from past relationships with caregivers and others, and grow in one's sense of purpose and character. Healthy relationship goals may include building mutual respect, trust, humility, & boundaries to build up and authentically love and care for one another.
While I enjoy seeing clients of many faiths and belief systems, there is a depth and specialness for me in working with those who want to integrate the Christian faith. As a Christian, I see my faith as foundational in understanding our true identity and purpose in life. Being able to bring this into the counseling process adds truth, meaning, and hope to our work together.
Reaching out and starting counseling can feel scary and vulnerable. I want to be a safe and honoring place for you to be open & real. I will compassionately and thoughtfully listen, collaborate with you, discuss thoughts or concerns, and be honest if I don't believe I'm a great fit for you. But I hope I am!
