Finding The Right Fit
The fact that your here, tells me that you may be in search of finding someone to see that can help you with some of life's struggles. Trust me, when I embarked on my own journey to finding a counselor to see regularly years ago, I whole-heartedly struggled with the process! To be completely honest, it felt like I was engaging in a quest, similar to an online dating experience, where I'm trying to find the best match, a person that I felt like I could choose to open up to and sort out my own stressors in life, because even us as counselors/therapists have our own things to work on to stay healthy to see our clients.

Let's be real, how do you find "the best fit" for you just by looking at a picture of someone? Their website? Or even just reading their background/bio of the person? Ugh! It is a lot of pressure! It all feels hard when you're trying to find someone that checks all of the boxes that you have. For me it meant searching for a needle in a haystack, an anomaly, if you will! For me it was searching for...

- someone that could get my sense of humor
- someone that I felt safe opening up to
- someone that I felt could help me work through my problems
- someone that I felt like was truly listening to me, helping me
heal, and and not just there for my money

Regardless of what brings you here, I am proud of you for taking the steps to find a space/person to give you some support, skills, and/or a reframe on situations you may be experiencing. The more you learn about counseling and the process, the more you learn that it should not feel uncomfortable each time you go in, and should not be a space that you dread to go to/attend every session. It should not be a place where your vulnerability feels mistaken for weakness, nor a space where your actions or decision making process feel ridiculed. While sometimes therapy and processing can be hard, real, uncomfortable, raw, I can guarantee that at you'll receive the care, support, and the help you deserve from an unbiased person and nonjudgemental environment from the time you step foot through my door!
