Intro
Hello there! I am JoLeesa. I spent a little over 20 years as a Registered Nurse, raised 3 children, got a business degree and then became a counselor! Recently, I became a grandmother. What I enjoy most about counseling is getting to know the person sitting across from me and helping them make sense of what they are going through. Whether you are dealing with changes in your relationships, health, family, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, my goal is to help you feel understood and find a practical way forward.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach is always focused both on helping you feel understood and move forward. Together, we will talk through the areas of your life where you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain. We will work to understand what is happening, identify what may help, and take practical steps toward improving your daily life. I will meet you with compassion while also being honest and direct when that is helpful. My goal is to help you work through difficult situations and feel more confident in yourself and your decisions.
What should be expected in the first session?
As soon as we have all paperwork squared away, we will move at the pace we feel is most helpful. We'll discuss how life has been going lately and how it has been affecting you. Then, if it makes sense, we'll talk about things to focus on until we meet again.
