People come to see me when they feel stuck: having a hard time with using substances, managing life stress, finding direction or hemmed in by the past. They don’t know what to do or where to turn. The solutions don’t work anymore or have turned into problems of their own. One problem may have stopped only for several others to emerge. Trying feels difficult. Life is hard.

Does life stress you out sometimes? Are everyday stressors affecting your happiness, job, or relationship? Sorting out feelings and communicating effectively can be difficult.
