My Vision for Helping Clients
We have all been hurt, and we have all developed coping strategies that interfere with how we live our lives. It takes courage to open your heart and choose to change from the inside out.
I can help you...
- recognize relational patterns you developed to protect yourself from being hurt
- identify how you try to control others to avoid facing your own fears
- unlock from old patterns of reacting as you choose new ways of responding
I focus on...
- exploring present relationships with attention to how you are repeating coping strategies that no longer work
- identifying how you have disconnected from your feelings in order to cope with pain, disappointment, and the trauma of abuse in your life
- encouraging you to break the silence of abuse, face your fears, and grieve your sorrows
I am committed to...
- affirming your dignity as you work through the issues that brought you to counseling
- hearing with my heart and responding from my heart to bring truth and grace into your stories
- being in this journey toward healing with you as a skilled listener who will "walk beside" you as you explore the mystery of who you are and discover how your view of yourself impacts your relationships with others
