Most people come to counseling as a final attempt to gain relief in some aspect of life.  The counseling process can at times feel awkward, unnatural, embarrassing, and intimidating.  Counseling is not a quick fix, however, to the extent you are willing to do the hard work of exploring your past, be vulnerable and honest with me (and yourself), counseling can be a place where profound healing occurs.

As you look for a counselor, it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with, who understands you, and that you trust.  We will work together to resolve the issues that brought you into counseling.  I will offer you all of my education, training and expertise to make sense of your struggles, but insight and technique can only get you so far.  It is in our counseling relationship where you will experience care and support as you face the most difficult issues in your life.

I hope to come alongside you and offer a safe and trusting place for you to work through the deep complexity your story holds.  After all, you are hard-wired to tell your story.  It is healing to tell your story to another.  As one of my professors used to say, you are your healthiest when you listen and tell (your story).  Who are you? Who are you, really?  Be curious of this question, and I hope that I am given the incredible honor of hearing your story.
