I understand that you’ll likely come to counseling with some hesitations and questions. This is completely normal, and I welcome your thoughts!

I believe that counseling is most effective when it's a collaboration between us and when your story takes center stage. Whatever symptoms you may be experiencing, we'll get curious about how those symptoms are signaling your deeper desires and needs. My goal for you is not just symptom relief, but also to discover meaning, spark purpose, and cultivate a deep appreciation for your whole life story. Because we're a team, I'll value your voice in the goals, values, and pace of our time together.

As part of my graduate clinical training, I received my own counseling. I've sat in the seat as a client, which helped me experience both the discomfort and joy of taking a detailed look at myself. I experienced something powerful— a sense that my younger self would be proud of who I'm becoming today. It's still a process for me, & I hope that it’s an ongoing process for you too.

As we work together, I'll be eager to hear your story. Who are you? What’s happened to you? What have you discovered about yourself? Who do you hope to become? What do you value most? Your story is worth telling. As you share your story, you get to build and reshape it along the way. It might be scary, but it's also full of transformative potential.
