WHY WORK WITH A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL? Slowing down, if even for an hour, and sharing your story with a professional may help start the process of gaining personal clarity and understanding. You may not be able to change the past, but you may be able to begin to learn from it and move forward. The process of working through traumas with a professional counselor can be liberating. You can learn to establish new ways of thinking, new behaviors, and an improved sense of direction. Your unique situation deserves to be explored as you experience it. Trouble, chaos, regret, difficulty, trial, cheating, worry, doubt, sadness, and a feeling of brokenness, can all eventually lead to a feelings of powerlessness. Things can improve, there is hope, and I want to join you in your journey toward that improvement. During the counseling process, I desire to walk beside every person who chooses to visit with me. I strive to create a caring and supportive environment where anyone in need of counseling can sit with a mental health professional and regain a sense of control in their lives. Every relationship, every emotion, and every story you are a part of matters – every life is important. I want to help you reflect on your life events and to help you gain perspective, escape lies, embrace your inner truth, experience joy, and discover or rediscover purpose in your life. If a painful past caused you to embrace and believe a story that just isn’t your truth, then I want to work with you as you discover a realistic perspective of yourself and obtain goals that match that realistic perspective.
