Human First
Therapist Second
If you haven’t connected with a therapist yet…
If you’re feeling discouraged, helpless, or exhausted and aren’t sure where to turn to next…
If you’re ready to grow and understand yourself better…
I get it. Finding a therapist is hard. At Bright Connections Counseling, we believe that moving forward starts with pausing and exploring what’s here. We strive to create a space where clients feel free to express their innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment- a space where you can show up as your full, beautiful, messy, human, authentic self- and where I can, too!
