What's a first session like?
First sessions are generally spent getting to know you, becoming familiar with the reason(s) you're seeking counseling, and establishing your goals for the journey. It's also an opportunity for you to get a feel for what it's like to work with me, and for the both of us to decide whether we're a good fit for one another.

Do you take insurance?
No, I do not. However, I can provide an invoice for you to submit to your inusrance company for reinbursment. A limited number of scholarships are available for those who could benefit from counseling but can't afford the full financial investment at this time.
Who benefits from counseling?
Counseling can be for those in crisis, but it can also be for anyone who wants to grow, heal or improve their quality of life. Everyone experiences pain. The role of a counselor is to provide space where a person's true self may be seen, experienced and explored. Counseling allows someone to join in your life's struggles before they become overwhelming.
Are you faith-based?
It is strictly left up to you how much or little you want us to engage the subject of God and spirtual formation. I personally take a Biblical anthropology approach to understand what it means to be human. I hold to the Biblical story that God made man in His own image and as such, counseling can be a pursuit of the Imago Dei (Image of God) in one's life. It can be seen as the quest for wholeness or one's "essential" self, as pointed to in Christ's life and teachings.
Is my info confidential?
Yes, what you share with me during sessions is strictly confidential, with one exceptions. State law and professional ethics mandate that confidentiality be broken when specific circumstances shared provide legitimate reasons of concern for the safety of a child, an elderly person or you.
