Your life no longer fits the image you had for it when you were younger. Each day feels more like a beat down than a joy. You feel lost, defeated, depleted. The inner critic in your mind kicks you while your down saying, "you're worthless," "you suck," "what's wrong with you?" Out of this pain you find yourself trying to cope, but you're not sure that what you're doing is really helping. And you look in the mirror and realize you don't recognize that shell of a person looking back at you. Feeling worthless and powerless, you've done things that don't reflect your values at all. These choices have cost you your self-respect, self-confidence, close relationships, and your dreams. Out of an effort to preserve the relationships that you hold most dear you hold back from sharing your pains. You fear that they will leave you if they only knew what you've done and what has happened to you. That's where I come in. You're safe when you talk to me.

In addition to private practice, I have also worked in the contexts of local church ministry and international ministry. Throughout my various experiences helping others, I've developed a love of working with individuals and couples who have come to realize that their life does not match their values and want to make a mindful change. Choosing to come to counseling may be the values-driven decision you need to make in order to prioritize what is most important to you and experience the fulfillment in life you so deeply desire.
