Counseling can be a key component in your journey to overall wellness. The heart of counseling is to improve an individual's life by focusing on strengths to create a healthy difference that is long lasting. The spirit of counseling involves the individual becoming the co-counselor. Trust in knowing one's self better than anyone else, accessing one's own wisdom, and allowing an individual to attend to their own wounds: this places the individual in the driver's seat, all while working collaboratively with the counselor. This is how individuals are allowed to grow, heal and transform.

As a 40-something with 15+ years of clinical experience in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have found that life is a journey of learning filled with twists and turns, many of which are beyond our power and control. It seems that when we are faced with the choices that naturally proceed from this journey, often we choose something not because it aligns with our highest value, but because it protects our unspoken vulnerabilities. If our greatest loyalty lies with our greatest fear or pain, then that fear or pain holds the potential to be either the cage that imprisons us or the opportunity that grows us to a new level of development.
