When you determine that you should seek counseling services I keep in mind that each individual is different biologically, psychologically, sociologically and economically. I also understand that receiving a diagnosis will have an impact on you, your family, friends, lifestyle and social situation. As a counselor I am aware that left untreated many disorders can escalate and in some cases as in substance abuse cause chemical changes in the brain, with mental disorders left untreated can have a negative impact on your life.

Life is a journey of multiple transformations... if only we were given a map to help us navigate through it, maximizing our joyous moments and minimizing the humps and mountains. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals and families through those challenging moments and experiences in life.

Parents can then struggle to communicate effectively with their youth leading to increased stress and family conflict. Ultimately, both are seeking understanding, stability, and peace.

We may struggle to manage our own children, and we may have problems connecting with others and building healthy relationships. Psychotherapy can help you re-frame your experience, and assist you in identifying, clarifying and prioritizing your values and coping skills, opening the door to a more meaningful life.
