Counseling Services

Starting June 2024, Counseling Services will be provided at Refining Grace Counseling located in Whitestown or virtually.

Congrats on looking at this page! Reaching out for help is an incredibly brave and wonderful thing to do!

Do you feel stressed or depressed and want to feel better? Or maybe your relationships aren’t as meaningful as you would like. 

As your counselor, I will help you connect the dots in your story. I believe everyone has a unique story - with both darkness and beauty. I come alongside others in their healing process. Together, we can create a plan to bring more inner peace and wholeness into your life. 

One of the ways that I work as a counselor is that I pay attention to you. In this busy world, focused attention is unfortunately rare. My goal in working with you is to listen to you and see you well and enable you to see yourself and your life more clearly. 

“Attention is the most basic form of love. Through it we bless and are blessed.” - John Tarrant

Counseling sometimes has parts that are about deconstructing your life in order to see what is working and what isn’t. Once we do that, a way forward often emerges. I will be your guide and companion on this soul journey. The process can be painful for some people but I find it to be a mix of both joy and grief. Reality is your friend and taking an honest look at your life and your story can be like a big sigh of relief. Joy can be found in taking the time to do self-care and intentionally pay attention to your life. 

It reminds me of the quote by Parker Palmer, “Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others.”
