I am a Licenced Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Do you feel frustrated, sad or lonely with one or more of your relationships (including the one with yourself)? Does it seem like things used to be good and now you can't figure out how they went south? Maybe you're pulling your hair out trying to get the other to hear and understand you? Whether the struggle is with your relationship with yourself, a partner or spouse, a family member, or a friend, relationship snags hurt and can be difficult and messy to sort through.
If you've tried everything you can think of, you may believe there's no hope. Professional counseling can help you sort through the muck, confusion, and tension. It can clarify what you need and want to be different. It can help you understand and interrupt patterns that replay again and again, communicate more productively,
rediscover connection, and gain relief from conflict and inner turmoil. While loved ones can give advice, a professional counselor can assist you free of value judgements and bias about how things "should" be. I'd like to help. Why not contact me and see how I might help you turn things around?
