The Counseling Process
We come to counseling when we are in pain, when something needs to change, or when we are seeking growth and personal development. In an initial intake assessment, I’ll work with you to identify your counseling needs and goals. I’ll also provide you with further explanation of how I work as a counselor, and answer questions you have about me or the process of therapy. As we continue to meet, your therapeutic needs may change. I will assess and explore these shifting goals with you.
Healing is a tricky business, and not something any of us can do alone. Counseling can provide life-saving relief and support, though it is not always a comfortable process. Sometimes discomfort is part of growth; sometimes it is a sign that we need to shift something we are doing in our work together. I want to navigate these questions with you. With a strong therapeutic relationship, I believe the process of counseling can offer healing, hope, and growth.

The Counseling Relationship
At the center of the complex process of counseling is the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client. Whether you’ve had counseling in the past or not, starting therapy with a new counselor can be an intimidating, vulnerable process. It takes time to build trust and establish a working therapeutic relationship. When we are in pain or urgently seeking changes, this relationship building can be a frustrating process. When we have had negative, or even traumatic, relational experiences in our past, building these kinds of connections can be even more challenging.
And yet a working relationship is the necessary foundation for change and healing to occur in counseling. I want to build this collaborative connection at a pace that works for you, and that honors your needs for safety and healing. I use a therapeutically integrative, person-centered approach to collaborate with you throughout the process of counseling.
