Are you ready to stop letting that past hurt control your life? I welcome a client who is aware of being in pain but doesn't understand what it's about, how it got there, or how to heal the pain. One who is sick and tired of the struggle and that things never change. I know their pain isn't hopeless nor does it have to be permanent. I have great respect for my clients who risk the vulnerability of the therapeutic process and risk both the pain and the hope of the healing process.

Life is hard at times and can leave us feeling hurt, confused or even hopeless, but I do not believe that any situation is hopeless. As a therapist, and as a person, I believe in the healing process that can occur through having an unbiased person who is willing to sit and listen to our needs. My goal is to be that listening ear for you and help you learn how to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, identify how to draw on your strengths to make positive changes and understand that you have the power to overcome any issue.

Are you tired of trying to hold it all together? Have you turned to alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn, or unhealthy sexual behaviors to cope?

I work well with clients from all walks of life who have identified that something is not working for them and they would like to enhance their "tool set." While I am able to work with a wide range of issues, the most common that tend to present themselves are related to changes in life, anxiety, or depression. I believe that each person tries to do the best they can with what they have. Sometimes what we have is not quite enough for a problem and we need to learn a more effective way of dealing with issues. It is not in my ability to change a person, I only help them change themselves to the degree they are willing.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do you feel each day is a struggle and there is no hope? Do you have anger that is difficult to control?

The mission of Starfish Family Counseling, PLLC, is best described through a story. The Starfish Story tells of a child walking along a beach after a terrible storm which washed up thousands of starfish onto the beach. The child is throwing starfish back into the water, when someone admonishes the child that they cannot save them all, cannot really make a difference. The child responds by picking up another starfish and saying "it makes a difference to this one." Together we will explore your goals, strengths and most importantly that you, your child, your relationships deserve healing. You matter.

Life presents us with challenges and it helps to have someone who can be present with us; carefully listen to us; and be skilled at helping us through the challenges we face. As a therapist, I believe it is important to provide a comfortable space that allows you to work through difficult issues with acceptance and support.

Confusion, brain fog, betrayed, on guard, isolated, these are the words I hear most often as I work with survivors of betrayal and sexual trauma. If you're feeling this way, please call or email. You aren't crazy (I'm often asked this). These experiences are most often symptoms of trauma.
As a therapist, my first goal is to create a space which feels safe for you to explore your story. Whether you've gone through trauma, are a struggling couple, a first responder, or a new mom with postpartum struggles, I'm here to help. Lastly, if you've gone through church trauma and are deconstructing but desire to maintain faith, please call.
