Hartwell Counseling

I believe hope is one of the most powerful forces in life. Being without it can also being an overwhelming force. I want you to have hope that you can accomplish the change you seek and live a life not yet lived. I have found that an approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and self care are foundational for sustained change.

Whatever obstacles and struggles you may be going through in life, I consider it a privilege to help you go and grow through them and walk alongside of you. With a healthy balance of listening, exploring and learning, I believe you can and will find all that you need to accomplish your goals.

Whether you, or someone you know struggles with the issues below, or simply wants a different outlook on their life, it’s something to work through together, and I look forward to meeting you as you feel led.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

As a pastoral counselor, my role is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and wholeness. Together, we’ll work to uncover and better understand you, your past and your hopes for your future and seen and unseen obstacles.

I see people with unconditional positive regard and fully able and capable to overcome current, past or future challenges. Counseling can be viewed as awkward and uncomfortable, but I strive for you to find comfort and peace, even as you may experience discomfort in disclosing and processing your pain and struggles. I want you to feel safe and secure and in so doing set yourself free, with deep compassion and no judgment. Not only do I want to provide support and encouragement, but it’s my goal to offer you practical resources that you can put into practice immediately. I use both modern approaches and foundational methods to fit your needs with understanding.
