Connected Hearts Counseling came from a theme that I noticed during my time as a therapist and a philosophy dear to the values of social workers. Human connection. I saw that therapy was most effective when there was a genuine human connection, because if we do not feel seen or heard, how can we truly connect with other people and with ourselves. With that in mind, I aim to create a space where each person can be themselves, be truly seen, and accepted as a human. The values that I hold in my life and within Connected Hearts Counseling is Authenticity, Connection, Curiosity, and Intention.

Authenticity means being real with ourselves and others without being cruel or infringing on the rights of another person.

Connection means being a human with another human, recognizing our individual story, and feeling comfortable to share that story.

Curiosity means to ask questions, sometimes tough questions, in a compassionate and gentle way, without judgement for what we discover.

Intention means being purposeful in what we say and do, how we say and do it, and owning our decisions.

It really is an honor to sit in the same space with another person, genuinely listen to what is being shared, and walk beside them as they navigate what they want their life to look like. Therapy can be an incredibly vulnerable and rewarding experience, and I firmly believe that healing begins when we open ourselves up to the healing we deserve. I would love to go with you on that journey and I look forward to connecting with you.
