What to Expect

Our first goal is to make you feel safe. From an inviting office space and a relational focus in our counseling style, we've intentionally sought to create a comfortable place where you can feel at ease.
We will work collaboratively with you to identify and work toward your individual goals. Counseling can be hard work because you are likely sorting through painful emotions and memories. For that reason, you get to set the pace for our time together, depending on your readiness and goals. We'll provide you with practical resources while also allowing you the safety and space to process your story.
Beliefs about Counseling
Made for More
You are intrinsically valuable not for anything you do but for who you are. No matter what you have done or been through, you are made with dignity. This belief comes from our Christian worldview. We hold that all people were created in the image of God and so were made to reflect his character and glory. Whether or not you share these beliefs, we will treat you with respect, honor, and kindness.
Not the Way its Supposed to Be
The anxiety or depression you battle, the abuse you've suffered, the relationship ruptures you've endured -this is not the way it is supposed to be. We have hurt other people and been hurt by them. Part of the counseling process is sifting through the broken parts of ourselves and our stories.
Pathway to Healing
Although it is often painful to look back on where we've been, by honestly and compassionately sorting through our experiences and grieving the brokenness, we can find healing. We are committed to going at your pace and helping you reach your goals.
Relationship Matters
We consider it an honor to be with each person who sits in our office sharing about themselves. We recognize that we have all been hurt in the context of relationships, and so it can be scary to tell that story to someone else. But we also believe that we find healing in the context of relationships. That is it is so important that you feel safe, seen, and heard.
