Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. If this is your first time to consider counseling, it may be a confusing and possibly intimidating time for you. You probably have several questions. I know for many people it is not easy to be vulnerable, especially with someone you do not know.
I hope to have the opportunity to work with you to help make this process as comfortable as possible. I would like the chance to hear what your needs are, offer support, answer questions about the counseling process, and help you as you work through the life experiences and struggles that have brought you here today.
It is important to find a counselor that is a good fit for you. While techniques, coping skills, and tools have their place, I believe it is the relationship and trust built between the client and the counselor that are the main pathway in achieving insight and change.
A counselor can help you learn new and healthier ways to view your circumstance and to face the difficult times. My belief is that a counselor does not attempt to "fix" the problem, he or she sits with you, listens to your story, and walks with you to support you as you move towards gaining your own insight, better health, and hope.
