What to Expect
Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. Maybe you desire healing or change in the parts of your life where you have been hurt, experienced loss or felt stuck. It is a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate your life and the changes you wish to see in it.
Connection, healing, and growth. These three words summarize my desire for each of my clients who start their own therapeutic process. My hope is that the connection you experience in our sessions offers you the safety and freedom to courageously tell the truth about your heart, relationships and experiences. From there, we can explore, find and make meaning out of your pain and story. Sometimes the things that we want to get away from are the very things that have helped us to survive. They have helped us to get to a place where we are ready to desire, long and hope for something more. In our time together we can identify and have compassion for those survival skills and we can find healthier ways to cope with life on life’s terms.
I will help guide you as you identify what you feel and need in order to experience the important healing you desire. It’s through this healing that you are able to live more fully, love yourself, others and God more deeply, and be loved in return.
More than anything, my hope is that you leave our sessions knowing this: you matter. In the tension of “God is good and life is tragic” there is a life worth living. In a liminal and sacred space between what was and what will be, I get to see clients grow. I have seen clients take responsibility for and accept how their past has shaped them, find ways to be present in their life now and seek something more for themselves and their future. This is my greatest honor as a therapist.
