You don’t feel much anymore—good or bad—and it’s like you’re just going through the motions. The weight of the job has changed you and left you carrying trauma, PTSD, and anxiety in ways you never expected. You’re left feeling isolated and exhausted, yet your brain won’t shut off, so staying home and disengaging feels easier. As a parent, you see your child struggling but don’t know how to reach them. You walk on eggshells, worried to ask too much fearing you get an emotionally charged response or no response at all from your teenager—wondering how your relationship got here and whether they can ever feel different and whole again.

When your body is thrown a curveball due to a major medical condition, it’s normal to feel alone, anxious, and depressed. Similarly, if you’re in a role that’s focused on serving others - whether in your personal life, professional life, or both - often your own needs get pushed aside. This leads to burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. By engaging in services at Sandstone Counseling, you can reclaim control over the trajectory of your life. Through evidence-based techniques, you'll learn additional coping skills, adjust to major life stressors, and reinvent yourself to become the person you want to be.

Throughout life’s journey, we encounter moments that challenge us—grief, anxiety, trauma, uncertainty, and experiences that expand how we see ourselves and reality. Healing is rarely linear; it flows in cycles of contraction, expansion, and transformation. Beginning counseling can feel vulnerable, yet it is a courageous step toward integration and growth. As an Existential–Integrative counselor, I support clients as they transcend challenges, explore identity, and move toward wholeness, deeper connection, and meaningful self-actualization.

Many people struggle with shame. Shame is the belief "something is wrong with you". You know that nagging voice that shows up from time to time telling you "You're not good enough". Shame comes from our experiences in life. Each experience especially in our younger years creates beliefs about ourselves which can create struggles including depression, anxiety and low self esteem.

Are you exhausted from managing your emotions all day? Planning around triggers. Replaying conversations. Feeling overstimulated, reactive, or completely shut down. You may hold it together in some areas and unravel in others. Maybe you understand your patterns logically, but in the moment a part of you takes over and responds before you can think. You want to respond differently in the moment so your relationships and life feel more secure rather than chaotic.
