And, if you are like me, it can be really hard to arrive... here. It’s the vulnerable place of looking for, acknowledging, or honoring that we need help.

I also know where the path of seeking help led me personally, and I am eternally grateful. It's why I am here today, journeying beside other brave souls like you!

In my human experience, life is full of tension and can be many things at once: beautiful and hard, exciting and scary, full and lonely, sad and redeeming, anxious and joyful. Or, sometimes we find ourselves in a place where life’s hardships are so overwhelming that we feel stuck, discouraged, confused, weighed down, or even hopeless. Wherever you find yourself today, I’m glad you are here to learn more about counseling, yourself, and how I can help.

I’ve spent the last ten years as a therapist witnessing what I seemed to intuitively know as a child: we have to pay attention to our feelings in order to be emotionally whole-hearted. The work of becoming more whole-hearted thrives in a safe space where we can be fully present, even in the midst of life's tension. Here we can bring painful experiences into the light, identify our feelings, name what we need, and share the true desires of our heart. The more we practice being present in our own physical bodies, the deeper we can connect with ourselves, the natural world around us, our higher power/ God, and others.

Ultimately, I believe we heal in relationship. As we enter into more connection with ourselves and others, we experience more intimacy. We restore the ability to fully love and care for ourselves. We realize that we are growing, changing, and showing up differently. And in the process, we step into our integrated selves: the person we were created to be.
