If you're looking for a place where you can explore your struggles, find safety, and learn ways of moving forward. You have found the right place. When I work with clients I look to help them determine what is best for them in their situation. I believe that there are many forces today that seek to keep us disconnected from ourselves and from safe communities. I think therapy is one aspect of creating a safe community that can help us get reconnected and remind us of what brings joy and meaning to our lives.
I work well with people having difficulty with mood disorders and trauma. I also have extensive experience with people in the LGBTQ+ community.
Interested to see if we are a fit. Don't hesitate to call.

Groups
Forward Motion Counseling Services, LLC
Forward Motion Counseling Services values the importance of human relationships as a vehicle for change. You might have experienced exclusion, violence, trauma, pain, or fear in your past. Some find ways of coping and thriving while others get stuck in a cycle of pain. Out of that arises recurring fears, sadness, and anger that may show up moment to moment in our lives and disrupt relationships, work, and play. At FMCS we focus on helping clients find freedom from their past traumas and move toward a life worth living.
