Personal statements:
Life is hard at times and going alone makes it harder. Having someone who will listen to you that you can trust and feel safe with can mean the world. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to help clients work through past and current issues by forming a relationship built on genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. My passion to create a safe atmosphere allows clients to feel heard and focus on their goals. Practicing through an eclectic lens of counseling approaches, I try to provide the tools and guidance for clients to work through a wide range of areas in their life.
As a counselor, I have a laid back, relaxed, and informal style. While my main focuses are on men’s issues (fatherhood, being a husband, pornography addiction, biblical masculinity, etc), spiritual issues, and child counseling I am trained, and would be excited to work with you on a wide range of mental health and life issues.
Reaching out is the first step. While it can be scary, I know that you will not regret it. Wherever you are in your walk in life, whatever you are struggling with, I will meet you where you are. I would be honored to join you in your journey towards becoming your best self.
“Let every word you speak be drenched with grace and tempered with truth and clarity. For then you will be prepared to give a respectful answer to anyone who asks about your faith.” Colossians 4:6 TPT
