Finding the Right Connection

One of the most important aspects of a first counseling session is finding the right connection with the right counselor.

Creating Openness and Trust

In these initial sessions, I often see clients open up with transparency and honesty. This openness is essential for meaningful progress, and I believe that creating a genuine connection with those who are willing to embark on this counseling journey together is key to achieving positive results.

Why Do I Do This?

A question that often arises in that first session is, “What makes you want to do this?” When I hear this, I understand that clients hope their counselor is motivated by more than just a paycheck. Having a clear and genuine answer to this question is vital when you are considering partnering with someone on your path of personal growth.

What Drives Me

So, let me share with you what drives me. My motivation comes from three main sources:

My Personal Story

I was someone who struggled to admit I needed help. Whether it was pride, stubbornness, or shame, I found myself stuck in a web of isolation, convinced that the only way forward was to “man up” and handle things alone. But over time, I learned that there’s no shame in recognizing your limits and reaching out for support. Being the person that others trust in those pivotal moments is a responsibility I hold with great care.

The Rewards of Hard Work

My second source of motivation is witnessing the progress that comes from hard work. Counseling involves both personal effort and collaborative effort. In each session, we uncover new insights, revisit old knowledge, and apply it in more effective ways. There are few things more fulfilling than seeing individuals and couples grow, develop, and build lasting skills that empower them for life.

A Greater Purpose

While these reasons are compelling on their own, the deepest motivation for my work is my belief that my Creator has guided my path. I believe that He uses my experiences, choices, and moments to weave connections with those I’m meant to help. Every appointment is a blend of real experiences, shared wisdom, and personal understanding, all pointing toward a better life.
