When you realize you're struggling or you are at a difficult point in your life, the awareness can cultivate growth. Reaching out for assistance is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of your strength and motivation for change. It shows your readiness to address what is needed to move through the challenge. Stress, anxiety, past traumas, life transitions, relationship or challenges, can knock anyone off balance.

From my experience, I continue to observe that mental health is the foundation of health. It has been a privilege to work with and learn from clients since 2005 in various settings. My strength-based approach allows individuals, couples and families to experience a safe environment in which to increase knowledge and awareness regarding emotions. Psychoeducation is a key at Aim Counseling. Knowledge is power and a means in which to learn how to be more in control of the abstract experience of emotions.

In my experience adults, couples, and teenagers alike are surprised at how empowering it can be to begin counseling. I am available to assist you or your adolescent in areas of self- esteem, effective communication, or adjusting to change or loss in your life. From our first session I will support you in identifying your strengths, areas of need, and setting goals toward positive change. My commitment is to provide a safe place and tools for you or your child to work through issues that may be causing worry, sadness, risky behavior, or behavioral issues.

You are one step closer to feeling more in control of your life. Reaching out for help is a brave, and sometimes scary, thing to do. My goal as a Christian Counselor is to help you through the immediate problems that have led you here, and to also teach the skills needed to have better control of your emotions in the future. You can find peace within yourself and your relationships through a process of self-reflection, effective communications, and healthy boundaries.

Have you been in search of new ways to manage with life? Stressed, isolated, or having difficulty living your life to the fullest? Struggling with how you see yourself, body image, or your relationship with food? Feeling a deep sense of loss after a traumatic experience? It may be difficult to talk about and we get stuck wishing things were just different. We might be looking for happiness through money, relationships, food, addictions only to reach the point of hopelessness. Finding peace, empowerment, and healing does not have to be a struggle experienced alone.
