I want to help you live your best life. We live in challenging times, and it’s often hard to know what to do in the face of adversity, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I believe in your ability to overcome life’s obstacles and create a life based on emotional stability and joy.
I practice a holistic approach to counseling and psychotherapy that embraces the well-being of the person or couple as a whole – mental, emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual. My style can be exemplified by the Greek word “paraklesis,” which means “to come alongside to help.” This help may include encouraging, supporting, teaching, confronting, and even calling you out on your ‘bull’ when necessary. My Christian perspective greatly influences my approach to psychotherapy. It is not necessary for you to share my beliefs for counseling to be successful for you, but it is important that you are aware of them. I embrace people from all walks of life with unconditional acceptance and without judgment or preconceived ideas. You are a unique individual with experiences specific to you alone. I will provide you with a safe environment in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I affirm that everyone has a right to live a healthy, authentic life that is free from judgment and shame. William Shakespeare said it best, “to thine own self be true.” I want to help you honor your voice and live your truth.
We will build a healthy therapeutic relationship based on a foundation of trust. That trust will provide a safe place for you to share honestly and openly, apply new approaches to your current situation, work toward a healthier existence, and improve your outlook. Through this process, I will help you discover thoughts and patterns that have held you back from your best life. Together, we will find new, healthy behaviors for you that garner growth and healing. This evolution may come in many forms; we may laugh, cry, throw things (soft things) at the wall. We will take this journey together and find the path that works best for you, but the destination and route we take are ultimately up to you, and so is the work to get there. I will encourage, motivate, and challenge you, but the effort to reach your potential must come from within. You will get out of therapy only as much as you are willing to put in. I firmly believe that YOU have the ability to determine your best life; the power is within you right now.
Thank you for trusting me to take this journey with you.
