I have counseled women for 3 years in the form of christian counseling.
Are you not satisfied with your current life? Do you look to others for validation? It is now time to explore who you are, your strengths and skills. We are alive for purpose, to live an abundant life. Humans are all created very uniquely and it is important for every person to embrace their uniqueness and boldly explore opportunities for a satisfying life. Life presents challenges regularly and they can be overcome by having tools in your toolbox. Once equipped with the tools, the success comes when we put them to use.

I want to commend you for being brave and taking an important step towards living a healthier life. There's some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that suffering is not always avoidable, as you probably already know. The good news is that we can find healing and learn to suffer well. People walk through life with unhealthy behaviors, emotional injuries, unproductive beliefs, and other burdens that they shouldn’t have to carry and don’t really need to carry. Using evidence based practices, like EMDR and DBT, I help people heal trauma, find relief from past wounds, have a more fulfilling present, and a more hopeful future.

I believe it is my purpose to serve others and facilitate them finding their own purpose in order that they become a change agent of positive solutions for themselves and others.

I'm grateful you’re taking a chance at considering counseling. Ideally, you are at a point ready for a change and looking for someone to support you in your goals. It seems most challenges have to do with a person's past experiences, relationships, and/or worldview and their role in it. Those various areas can affect a person at different levels. A large part of my role is to help empower you, properly connect you with a healthy community, and when the time is right, work myself out of the picture.

You find yourself stuck in the same negative cycles. You trust the wrong people and get into relationships that only leave you feeling manipulated, abused, and unsafe. They’ve taken away your power, your voice, and the weight of trauma has left you questioning your worth. You’ve tried reaching out to loved ones, connecting to your faith, and other means to address your concerns, but all those choices have failed. Your needs are not met, and you desperately desire support to make consistent, positive changes to succeed mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
