"Some people face increased pressures that may be unavoidable. Though most people do the best they can, when extra stressors add up, people can become weighted down. These extra stressors can affect thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and personal health. Grief changes people. Grieving a family member, a friend, a pet, or some other significant loss involves the “inside feelings” people experience. Mourning work includes the outward expression of those feelings, which may include talking about the loss, crying, attending support groups, counseling sessions, writing, and/or ritualizing. Mourning work helps."

"My mission is to assist others with becoming better versions of themselves by helping explore within to find their inner strengths. When we allow inner strengths to shine we can change ourselves for the better, overcome obstacles and be who we were meant to be. Whether it's facing your difficult past or planning your bright future, I'm here to help. I greatly value the therapeutic relationship. Once this relationship has been established, the individual can feel comfortable to address more personal issues in a confidential and respectful environment. I assist with teaching the tools needed to manage thoughts which will then manage behaviors."

"Life doesn't come with instructions. We make the best choices we're capable of, and still at times we find ourselves feeling powerless within our circumstances. In these moments, we may require guidance to navigate the course or even to decide which course to navigate."

"Life is about our journey, not about our circumstances. I love helping those who want to help themselves and who have a passion for MORE in their lives than the status quo. I want to help others find their joy! A significant focus for me is working with couples before during or after marriage OR divorce who are struggling to get their relationship to a healthier place. I work with an array of personal/individual and couple issues. I often do relationship therapy with just one person sitting on my couch. Change still happens; it's like the Butterfly Effect."

"People seek counseling for all sorts of reasons. Regardless of what has prompted you to seek out a therapist or coach, it means you are not in the place you would ideally like to be. I provide a safe and comfortable place for you to explore whatever you need to. My goal in working with clients is to help you to create the life and relationships you aspire to and to live a balanced, fulfilling life. We accomplish this through developing awareness with understanding and compassion."

"Are you not where you thought you be at this point in your life? Are your relationships not what you signed up for? Do feel outpaced by your emotions or flooded with anxiety? It may be time to reach out for professional counseling. I work collaboratively and compassionately in order to activate your strengths and internal resources. I work in a real world way that ignites your ability to move forward as an agent of change in your own life."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adolescents, teenagers, young adults and their families. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, anger, and oppositional and defiant behavior. Childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood can be very difficult and "growing pains," both typical and extreme, can leave lasting marks on all members of the family. In this time of transition, it is especially important to build confidence, coping skills, and a strong sense of self in order to move into adult life successfully."

"It takes great courage to address the loneliness, heartache and confusion we inevitably face as humans. I offer a place where a person can untangle their hurt, confusion and address their messy emotions. I believe our stories matter. Our life experiences shape us. No one escapes suffering. Life is hard. Everyone has experienced a broken heart and shattered dreams. Experiences of abuse, rejection, betrayal and trauma contort the soul. Our soul responds to self, God and others with these contorted relational patterns that connect or sabotage relationships. Soul contortions are addressed with compassion and respect as we journey towards restoration."

"First, I just want to say that taking the first step to find a therapist is incredible. This is an exciting moment. Contacting a counselor can sometimes be a little intimidating (I know from experience!) but I want to reassure you that it is the start to an amazing journey. As your counselor I will be there to support you as you overcome challenges, change harmful habits or behaviors, and heal from the past/present. I work to provide a positive, safe, and peaceful environment for my clients. I welcome humor, honesty, and authenticity as you move towards your unique goals. "

"Finding the right counselor is indeed an important step to helping you move in the right direction towards health. As a counselor, I see myself not as someone who has all of life's answers but rather as someone who can walk with you on the journey towards achieving your own goals of health. This collaborative process involves working together to help you grow and overcome the issues that are blocking the roads of life. I enjoy working with a broad range of patients and my areas of focus include, Depression, Anxiety, Couples and Marital Counseling, Familial Relationships, Addictions, Sexuality, Identity Issues and Adjustment Disorders."

"Life requires so many decisions. Sometimes the past isn't really past. Memories, regrets, or pains can creep into the present. Sometimes the future doesn't seem inviting but instead looms over us. Anxiety, doubt, and uncertainty prevent us from moving forward. What do we want to do with our lives? Who do we want to be? Where do we belong? We hold such great potential, but the pressure to reach it can be paralyzing."

"Emotional and psychological well-being are central to a life well lived, at every age and every stage.

Our approach is patient directed, goal oriented, and time limited.

"Many people suffer with anxiety and depression daily. Whether it be due to childhood trauma, relationship issues, parenting, divorce, work, or any other stress related problem - learning how to cope with your anxiety and depression is key to finding a happy and satisfying future. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are alone. You are not. Many people deal with these difficulties daily. And with guidance and assistance, you too can begin enjoying your life again - just as all these others have begun to do."

"Are you generally successful and happy in life but have an issue with work or a relationship and want extra support to build skills? Are you experiencing a major life transition, anxiety, depression or grief? Do you need support through adoption and attachment issues or dealing with trauma?"

"From struggle to strength. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed, on edge, and struggling to manage all of life’s demands? There is a good chance that I have been right where you are, and, that I have felt this anxiety and struggled through it myself. It can be done. It's simply easier with a guide, I will help you know -- you are not alone. I will help you find relief. We will work together to help you gain a new way of looking at things. Or, as they say "a new pair of glasses." I offer you a different perspective. You deserve all of this and more."

"Simply put, I look at life as the ultimate road trip. We never know where our 'travels' will take us. And just like our vehicles need regular tune-ups, so does the human mind. I invite you to stop by for some 'mental maintenance work' so you can hop back on 'your road' and continue your life's adventures with contentment and peace of mind."

"My practice is geared towards adults who are seeking help with emotional trauma, substance abuse (either their own or a family member's), relationship concerns, anxiety, mood difficulties, difficult adjustments or transitions, including those of later life; and/or other emotional struggles. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families and offer a range of services including, consultation, clinical assessment, comprehensive substance abuse evaluation, short term mental health counseling, longer term psychotherapy, family counseling, and couples' therapy."

"I agree with the philosophy that crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Human beings are very delicate emotionally and can suffer tremendously. My clinical experiences over the years have been very broad from child service agencies to residential treatment to outpatient psychiatry. Currently I work with individuals and families who struggle with with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I welcome longer term, deeper therapy work as well as problem-focused counseling with cognitive-behavioral interventions."
