Do you need support during this confusing time with COVID-19? We offer secure video-based support if you are struggling with pornography or compulsive sexual behaviors and you can't find the help you're needing. If your partner's sexual behaviors have left you feeling betrayed and devastated, there IS a way out. We specialize in providing a safe, non-shaming space where we can work through issues related to sexual addiction / compulsivity and betrayal trauma. We're here to help, even during this unsure time.

It may be hard to name: sadness, nervousness, frustration, loneliness, shame. Maybe a mix of those + more. Life maybe brought losses or hardships, causing grief. You’re curious if therapy can help. The therapy relationship is a powerfully healing tool. Feeling safe, heard, + valued can be transformative. I’m Angela, and I’m compassionately curious how your lived experience, including relationships, social forces, and world goings-on, has brought you to this place. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs; no cookie cutter treatment. Consider me an emotional escort lending support as you make your way through an unsure time.

You put on a brave face, but inside you're terrified. As Covid drags on, your biological clock keeps ticking louder. You're dying to find “The One” & start your family. Dating apps are now the only way to connect, & your discouragement grows as you swipe left countless times. You've been successful in your career. But what about the relationship? The family? When you were younger, you thought you'd have relationships figured out by now. You'd give anything to go back in time & make different choices.

My name is Geoffrey Sherrell, M.A., AMFT. As a registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, I provide counseling under the supervision of my clinical supervisor Dr. Jane Teola, Psy. D., LCSW (Lic. Number LCSW 6619). Often, individuals are overwhelmed with emotions and feelings that cause their lives to be out of balance psychologically and spiritually. My goals for the individuals, families, and groups I serve are to restore balance and homeostasis within personal lives, family systems and social interactions.

Perhaps life has handed you a crisis. Or maybe it's a season in which your soul needs a bit more attention or you just feel stuck. Whatever the reason, whether your relationships need strengthening or it feels like you're on the brink, I thoroughly believe therapy is worth your time, your financial and your emotional investment. Together we will approach your trials with compassion, courage and hope. I believe in healing. I believe in peace. I believe growth is as much about the journey as the arrival. I'd be honored to be a part of that journey.

Life is full of various transitions, both expected and unexpected. One can feel pushed to deny or resist these inevitable changes or can begin to take steps to learn, adapt, and adjust to them. I believe everyone has inner strengths that can be awakened in challenging times and therapy can work as a catalyst for change. I have been privileged to journey with individuals who learned to envision their desired lives and to find ways to fulfill them. I have also journeyed with those managing seemingly insurmountable challenges, steadily guiding them toward finding peace in the midst of challenges and eventually overcoming them.

A mentor once said, when it gets confusing inside, that's when we know we need someone else there with us. Whether this be a time of sadness and grief, healing from trauma, a life transition or a period of discernment- it would be my privilege to get to journey with you in this season.

Are you living a healthy and satisfied life? We sometimes get stuck in the same patterns that may result in poor decision-making, painful feelings, depressed mood, anxious mood, or unhealthy relationships. There are things you can do to gain self-awareness about your behavior and make positive changes. I can assist you as you take steps towards improving your relationship with others or make changes that may promote a more satisfying life. It is time to move towards your full potential and I can help you. Call me.

No matter how dark things appear right now or how great the pain, I believe there is hope. Life can throw some crazy curve balls. I know how earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. So if you feel like giving up, give me a call instead.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed often? Do you constantly feel on edge, like you have little or no control over your emotions? Maybe you aren't sure what you feel or how to move forward. Whatever it is that you are going through, therapy can provide a safe, contained, space for you to process your inner world, gain clarity and learn new ways of approaching challenges in your life.

Are the circumstances in your life leading you to feel stuck, stressed, and overwhelmed? Our bodies respond to major life stress in a variety of ways. Some of us become riddled with anxious thoughts, while others of us can’t find the energy to get things done. Perhaps you've noticed your symptoms build over a period of time, or something may have happened recently to cause an abrupt change. Either way, these struggles can feel hard, lonely, and overwhelming. You may be ready to start feeling like yourself again, and I'd love to help.

Do you have difficulties in your relationships, friendships, or work? Do you have a hard time accomplishing goals? Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are you stuck in a pattern of all-or-nothing thinking? There are many reasons to seek out therapy, but sometimes we find reasons to put it off as well. I know it can be scary to ask for help. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Who do you want to become? Therapy can lead you to feel a greater sense of self, so you can live the life you want for yourself. You don’t have to continue to suffer.

Let's face it. Life can be hard. Distressful relationships can make life harder. You are not alone and it's OK to ask for help. I am passionate about helping you create the life you desire. It takes work but doesn't have to be long-term. I value your time and believe in helping you find solutions to problems. I enjoy working with clients dedicated to their personal growth. If you need help with building self-esteem, enhancing relationships or moving from cycles of fear, anger, worry or sadness, I would be honored to walk with you on your path to peace.

Have you "always been a worrier?" Are your thoughts racing, spiraling you into despair? Do people keep telling you to stop worrying but you can't? Are you thinking the worst case scenario right now?" You may be having difficulty sleeping, be short on patience, or snapping at people you love. If you are nervous right now because too many things on this list remind you, you may be struggling with anxiety. If your worrying is causing you to enjoy life less or is keeping you from getting things done, I would love to help.

Talking about what is going on within you or your relationships can be a powerful experience. I have been helping married couples, engaged couples, parents and single adults for more than 21 years. I also provide Brainspotting relational psychotherapy which is a powerful and effective modality that treats unresolved trauma, negative experiences and life-time emotional distress. My specialty is helping couples and adults gain relationships skills and get unstuck. Please call me if you are ready for a real change in your life whether it’s growth or healing. Married or single please don’t wait anymore.

If you're feeling stuck and experiencing symptoms, trauma may be to blame. Underneath most human issues I usually find trauma beneath the surface. As a certified EMDR therapist, I am highly trained to treat and heal trauma. Even if addiction is the issue, or food issues, or depression, treating the unresolved little t (smaller incidents) and big T (more obvious traumatic experiences) helps alleviate the present day symptoms. EMDR works quicker by targeting the roots of issues and helping to free the body of trauma that has been stuck for weeks, months or even years.

I often explain that psychotherapy is like physical therapy for the brain. With a combination of a safe, nurturing environment and evidence-based methods, you can develop new “pathways” in your brain and process your thoughts and feelings to help you heal and grow. I will approach our work together with a genuine curiosity and seek to collaboratively explore the different parts of your story. Having lived in several different countries, I have great respect for and extensive experience working with people from various backgrounds.

As a long time industry veteran, including years of being surrounded by highly dysfunctional behavior in recording studios, I understand the stress, hours, and pressure that creative people face. Whether its depression, abusive bosses, or creative blocks, we can work on unraveling the problems and getting through them. Similar to the "man behind the curtain" in the Wizard of Oz, there may be subconscious factors that are influencing your feelings, thoughts and decisions on a daily basis. Together we may be able to identify and neutralize any of these hidden or mysterious issues that appear to be holding you back.
