Life is a journey, and during the inevitable times when rocky waters toss us around, it helps to have a person in your life who has successfully navigated the rivers, and made it to the other side, where the waters are calm and smooth. I have always been the person people opened up to about what was bothering them. I was born to witness your journey. I am a professionally trained counselor and art therapist. I want to help you understand what has gotten you to this point in your life and determine where to go from there.
I'm open, honest, authentic, excited, always on your side and have a deep faith that prevails-I believe all humans, no matter their experience or trauma, have the ability to heal-and there are lots of ways to heal! Lets customize a plan, blending a wide range of treatments.
If you're feeling anxiety navigating COVID-19 changes you're not alone. Half of surveyed adults experience pandemic fatigue. I can help you with building resilience to pandemic fatigue. Come to Brenner Guess Counseling Services, where you will find safe refuge from the storms, and calm waters to still your inner landscape.
