"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
We are creatures meant to dream, but life often takes its own punches, and swallows up our ability to do so. My hope is that all who enter counseling might have the opportunity to experience freedom, confidence, hope and rest. It is my honor to hold your story as we journey together toward the free, full life available. It's not just a privilege for a certain few but a gift available to all for the taking.
When I take on a new client you can expect that we will spend a good chunk of time understanding the person of you. Who are you? What are your roots? What are you all about? Our journey continues with figuring out the roadblocks in between you and living your life to the full. Many times our stories are full of hurts, traumas and uncertainty. Though rewarding, this work can be some of the toughest in counseling. Taking this step is courageous and is one of the most life giving parts for me. It is a privilege to get a front row seat to people starting at some of the most challenging things and taking one more step toward healing.
I have specific training and experience in: incorporating Biblical truth into counseling focusing on issues surrounding identity formation when navigating a broken and fallen world, working with grief/loss, trauma, abuse, postpartum adjustment/motherhood issues, sexual addiction, shame/guilt, and family of origin story work. Most of my work is with kiddos who are verbal (2-5) and then pre-teens on up. I also see some couples on occasion.
Looking forward to meeting you or your kiddo!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Josh Berger LPC-S.
