Accepting that there may be something about ourselves that we wish to change is one of the hardest things to do in life, and I applaud your courage in seeking help. As human beings, none of us are perfect, and it can be so frustrating to feel trapped in what seems to be a cycle of unwanted or unproductive behaviors, relationships, or habits. You are not alone. I believe that my role as a counselor is not to know more than you, to judge, or to be an expert on all things. Rather, my role is to walk with you on your path towards healing. Together we can gain insight into the problem, identify what can be changed, and learn to accept what cannot.

Experience

I worked for many years as an NCO in the military. In this role I would mentor younger soldiers to help them discover their own strengths, identify their challenges in life, and help them develop solutions for improving their situations. Upon leaving the military, I sought a role as a therapist in order to continue this work of helping others. During my graduate studies, I worked as a generalist in the Twin Cities and developed a love of working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, phobias, grief and loss, infertility, family of origin issues, trauma, and PTSD.

During my time working with these varied challenges, I noticed that given enough time, existential questions would often arise within the therapy session. What is my purpose in life? Why am I here? Why did this happen to me? I came to Christian Heart Counseling because I embrace these questions and am open to a person’s faith being part of the search for answers, if desired.
