What do you love most about your job?
I love the authentic relationships I have with my clients and meeting them exactly where they are at in life. Being invited to utilize my gifts and skills in the deepest hardest places of people’s lives is humbling and beyond description. The counseling relationship is a sacred space and it is always unique just like all my clients. I love seeing people heal and grow in sustainable and enduring ways.
What inspired you to start your own business?
By owning my own business I have the flexibility to offer alternative hours and adjust my fees on a case by case basis so I can be as accessible as possible to motivated clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
I use the word “counseling” a lot because it seems to be a more comfortable and familiar concept. While it is a good word, “psychotherapy” much more accurately and meaningfully describes the nature of the counseling I strive to provide my clients. Psychotherapy is derived from the Ancient Greek psyche meaning “breath, spirit, soul” and therapeia meaning “healing, medical treatment.” Psychotherapy is the artful and scientific treatment of a person’s soul – the entirety of a person – for the sake of enduring healing and wholeness. This is what I do with clients and I tailor the process to each of them uniquely.
The focus of my studies, training, continuing education, and clinical psychotherapeutic work is an integrative approach to healing and wellness, that strives to consciously incorporate the dynamic nature of humans, for the sake of sustainable enduring change. Both, Symptom reduction and deep transformative wholeness are critical parts of the work I do with people.
