The mission of the Good Start Therapy Mental Health Counseling, PLLC is to provide you with the resources you need to succeed in your personal and professional life.

Do you suffer from runaway anxiety and stress? Perhaps you feel too "on edge" or irritable and physically tense? If so, you also probably don't sleep well at night. Maybe in order to function, you've also developed an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, weed, or another substance and would like to learn to enjoy your drug(s) of choice in a measured and less harmful manner? Maybe you're struggling with a major life transition, such as starting a new career, a serious medical diagnosis, a divorce or the death of a loved one? Life can be wildly unfair, and sometimes the piling on of stressors can be overwhelming.

The parts of us that go unexpressed, unresolved, unseen or unloved can be picked up and honored. We can experience remarkable and swift positive change within a safe, honest and creative relationship. Perhaps, that relationship begins with a therapist but the goal is that it end with you in a loving relationship with yourself.
