Knowing Your Counselor
After a lengthy period of time developing software in the Midwest, I recognized that I felt called to explore areas in which I suspected I might have very different gifts. In Kansas I had experienced and led small groups for men, getting a taste of what it means to honor significant issues in the lives of others. A move to the Pacific Northwest led to a new sense that I was in for more than exploration. I graduated from Mars Hill Graduate School with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I found that working in areas of sexual abuse was a calling in itself, an opportunity to awaken in men and women the sense that matters deeply affecting the heart can be discussed in a safe and restorative environment. Also, my background in a technical field provides me with unique insight into the lives of those in the nine-to-five (seven-to-seven?) business world. Where necessary, I help to bridge clients from their work to matters that impact them in even more fundamental ways. Eating disorders have become another unique interest for me. Body image and food issues represent the most common ways that we have learned to punish ourselves. Thankfully, recovery is possible with the right support. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. |
