What led me to become a professional counselor?

I never planned to become a therapist or to own a counseling practice. It came as a small seed planted in the year 2001. At that time, I was working along the professional career path I valued and pursued with determined passion. Life was settled and comfortable, until everything I had counted as secure and certain dramatically shifted. My world began to implode.

After dark and desperate months unsuccessfully navigating a new “normal” I chose to make an appointment to meet with a therapist. Coincidentally, it was the same day that a decisive life choice had to be made. I’ve not forgotten the way this therapist heard my story, leaned forward with kindness and acceptance saying “I cannot tell you what to do, but I can promise to walk this journey with you.” Many well-meaning friends, family, books, church leaders and others had given advice on how to move forward. NO ONE had promised to walk it with me. I was no longer alone.

Sometimes, the events that threaten to crush us become a catalyst for a renovation or reinvention of ourselves. I believe Jan 2.0 is a better version of myself that began during that pivotal first session. Over time, a new purpose, vision and passion evolved into doing the work to become a therapist so that I could help others in the way that I was helped.

Studies have shown that a major factor in the change that occurs through therapy is the quality of the therapeutic relationship that develops between client and therapist. My goal with every client is to recognize and appreciate their individuality. To build an environment of trust where my clients can freely express their hurts, thoughts, and dreams without judgment. I seek to join them on their journey through the troubles that brought them to my door and celebrate as they rise up to reach their goals.
