I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.
I can help you to find comfort, establish and achieve smart goals, and express emotions. I help break down the path into single steps that don't feel like too much as a reach. Rather than throwing ourselves into an abyss, I teach you how to measure your success through listening to you and educating you about your choices. Expressive Arts is a creative technique I use with you whether you are completely new to art or are a professional. I am especially practiced with adult clients who are trying to feel empowered and want to engage fully in enjoying life, rather than just surviving it.
I think my journey toward becoming a counselor began in childhood, when I learned how to walk through the emotional darkness of depression. I continue to learn the best ways to help others, mostly through my clients. My clients show me the power of the human spirit every day and that it is never too late to improve ourselves. My calling is to focus on your goals, lift you up, and provide a warm light in times of trouble. It's an honor to be part of another person's healing process, and I look forward to working with you to pursue the path to your dreams. Let's get started!
