I help adults who feel anxious, lost, or frustrated by their own emotions and patterns understand how their experiences have shaped them, so they can develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and clarity in how they move through life.
My approach is about helping people connect the dots between their experiences and how they show up today. I’m big on helping clients feel understood, asking questions they may not have thought to ask, and exploring their experiences without making them feel like something is wrong with them for feeling the way they do. I also offer the option of incorporating faith into therapy for clients who want that.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin exploring what has been going on in your life. Maybe you know something feels off, but you can’t quite put your finger on why. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, lost, unfulfilled, or frustrated by reactions and patterns you don’t fully understand. Or maybe, from the outside, things look like they’re going well, but internally, you don’t feel the way you thought you would.
You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what to say or having everything figured out. We can start wherever you are.
I’ll ask questions to help me understand your experiences, what you’ve been carrying, and what has brought you to therapy. I’m also interested in helping you explore questions you may not have thought to ask yourself. Sometimes, as we begin connecting the dots between what you’ve experienced and how you’re feeling or responding today, things start to make a little more sense.
My goal is for you to feel heard and understood, not judged or made to feel like something is wrong with you. I know what it’s like to reach certain goals and still feel lost or struggle with patterns you don’t fully understand. I want therapy to be a space where we can explore those things with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.
You don’t have to figure everything out in one session. We’ll begin getting a sense of what you’re experiencing, what you want to understand or change, and how we can work toward that together.
If faith is important to you and you’d like it to be part of our work, we can incorporate that into the counseling process. It’s always your choice.
You don’t have to have all the answers before you begin. We can work toward understanding them together.
