Throughout my experience as a counselor, I have noticed that our shame is the foundational and often times our biggest barrier to success. My approach is to help client's identify and replace these shame-based thoughts and become more aware of how these thoughts impact the way they see themselves, others, and the world around them. Once you can view your authentic self as someone that is worthy, goals can be clearly defined, progress can be made, and healing can be obtainable. While this isn't the only consideration in counseling, it is one of great importance.

Do you ever ask yourself any of the following: Why do I feel frustrated or powerless when dealing with others behavior? Why does this problem/issue keep coming up for me?

These are some of the topics that my clients work through in our sessions.

Exhausted. Hoping to have a good day with your child, but hope ran out when he had another tantrum. Praying for some relief. The yelling and screaming and the anxiety are becoming unmanageable. Just one good day. That's not asking too much, is it? Lots of advice but nothing has worked. Or it works for a while and then it goes back to the same old thing. Fear of what might happen means staying home most of the time. Surely there is a better way. For you and your child.

I believe that we sometimes need additional support as we navigate our unique journey in life. As a young adult in my early twenties, I met with my first counselor who introduced me to a group counseling experience that brought life-changing spiritual and emotional transformation. Although I had come to counseling for one problem in my life, the therapeutic process illuminated so much more than what I could articulate or even knew I needed. This initial encounter is what drew me toward the counseling profession and deepened my passion and motivation for helping others in the same way that I have been helped.
