The Salt & Arrows Experience

Counseling that feels human, honest, warm, and just structured enough to actually help you.

To be honest….

Working with me is not the β€œsit on a couch while I nod silently for 50 minutes” experience. If that’s what you want, I’m not your girl.

I’m warm. I’m direct. I’m a little sarcastic. And I care way too much about you to let you stay stuck in the same patterns that are making you miserable or tired.

Here’s what it’s actually like to have me as your counselor.

You’ll Know Exactly What’s Going On (No Mystery Therapist Energy)

I don’t do vague. I don’t do cryptic. I don’t do β€œguess what I’m thinking.”

You’ll always know:

  • what we’re working on

  • why we’re doing it

  • where we’re heading

  • and how it connects to your goals

You’re not wandering through therapy blindfolded. You’re in the driver’s seat β€” I’m just the GPS helping you avoid the emotional potholes.

Your First Session Is Grounded, Not Awkward

Your intake session is 75 minutes because your story deserves more than a rushed β€œSo tell me about your childhood” moment.

We slow down. We breathe. We get clear on what’s hurting, what’s heavy, and what you want your life to feel like.

You don’t have to spill everything. You don’t have to impress me. You just have to show up as you are.

I’ll take it from there.

You’ll Feel Seen β€” Not Managed

I’m not here to β€œfix” you. I’m here to understand you.

You’ll feel:

  • heard

  • validated

  • challenged

  • supported

  • and actually understood

This is a space where your emotions make sense, your story matters, and your healing is the priority.

You’ll Have Structure (Because Chaos Isn’t Healing)

I’m not winging it. I’m not guessing. I’m not just β€œseeing where the session goes.”

I use a clear, grounded, trauma‑informed structure that helps you feel safe, oriented, and supported.

You’ll never wonder:

  • β€œWhat are we doing?”

  • β€œIs this helping?”

  • β€œAm I doing therapy right?”

You’ll know.

You’ll Grow β€” Even When It’s Uncomfortable

Healing isn’t always cute. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s annoying. Sometimes it’s β€œWow, I didn’t want to hear that today.”

But you won’t be doing it alone. I’m right there with you β€” steady, grounded, and fully invested in your growth.

You’ll Leave Sessions With Clarity, Not Confusion

You won’t walk out thinking, β€œWhat did we even talk about?”

You’ll leave with:

  • insight

  • direction

  • emotional grounding

  • and a sense of movement

Therapy should feel like progress β€” not a weekly emotional dump.

 HERE’S THE PRocess

Before Your Session

  • I pray over you.
     Before we meet, I take a moment to pray over your session β€” asking the Spirit to steady your heart, guide our time, and prepare the space for whatever you’re carrying.

  • You’ll get reminders.
     SimplePractice sends automatic reminders so you never have to worry about forgetting:
    β€’ text reminders
    β€’ email reminders (if you want them)
    β€’ easy reschedule links

  • This is your time, and I want it to feel supported from the start.
