******Please EMAIL at intake@aronsencounselingservices.com******** or reply on here. Do you wonder if you are alone with the problems you are experiencing? I can tell you that you are not alone and that many come to see me wondering the same thing. No, you are not weird, unusual or "crazy". I am here to help you with whatever struggle you may be experiencing. I remember beginning therapy myself and being uneasy about telling my "secrets" to a stranger. I began to look forward to therapy and was able to use those sessions to improve my life. YOU CAN TOO!

I have experience with treating depression, anxiety, trauma, life adjustments, and adults parenting neurodiverse populations. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via phone or email. I'd rather help you get connected to the right place, than not hear from you at all.

In all of our lives we experience a full range of emotions, from deep sorrow to wondrous joy. Often it is easy to overlook the joys and lose sight of the beauty and harmony around us. When life throws us a "curve ball", we can become overwhelmed and feel as if life is only a struggle. Our thoughts become negative and we then find ourselves out of balance, perhaps anxious or depressed. We do not truly enjoy our relationships, existing without meaning or connection. Therapy provides a safe confidential environment to tell your story, move through grief or pain, and identify life strategies that work!

Life is more enjoyable when we are feeling whole, healthy and connected to the important people around us. But sometimes our reality is disconnection, frustration, stress, and hopelessness. How can this be happening to me? Especially now! Most of us assume the journey to parenthood will be smooth and easy, rarely is that the reality. I support individuals and couples from the early stages of trying to conceive through the stress of launching adults and all the stages in the middle. My role is to be a coach as you try new strategies, process difficult feelings and work through challenges. You do not have to do this alone.

Our lives are made up of demands and often the last thing we pay attention to is ourselves. I am here to support women during times of difficulty and transition. As a breast cancer survivor, I work collaboratively with individuals with a recent cancer diagnosis, families navigating cancer, or those caregiving for cancer patients. Families navigating formed through adoption and foster care may benefit from attachment-based work we can do together in my office.

Our developing years can often be filled with confusion, fear, and other big emotions. Whether I’m working with children or the inner child, speaking with someone who can present a different vantage point and offer tools of healing from a non-judgmental and supportive place can be what we need to achieve wholeness. From coping and managing stressors, self-esteem and confidence building, social and relationship concerns, or self-discovery, I'm dedicated to supporting the growth and development of children, teens and young adults.

Life and relationships are filled with amazing experiences and opportunities. However, life and relationships also come with challenges and struggles. When we are hurt by those we love or by the circumstances of life we want someone safe to turn for help and support. Our hope is for the pain to be less and ideally for broken relationships to be healed. We long for healthy relationships and skills to navigate life like when the waters are rough.
