Taking the first step to reach out for help can be difficult, I know that from my own life journey. I've learned that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. Any number of things can cause distress in our lives. Maybe life has given you something that seems as if it's too much to deal with. Maybe some aspects of your life feel out of control? Maybe you need some help managing your child's behavior? Maybe you want to be more authentic and genuine with yourself and others. I have years of experience working with children and families, as well as those who struggle with addiction issues. There is hope!

I have walked alongside children, adolescents and adults who have been diagnosed with PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression.
"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." In today's world, people can be ambushed by any number of experiences that can leave us drained, exhausted, and feeling like it's hard to move forward. Counseling can be an outlet for individuals to sort through what they're feeling, and get perspective, and assistance, and most of all, a certainty that someone is listening; that your voice is being heard.
