Seeking therapy is a courageous step on your path of self awareness and growth. You may be feeling sad, worried, or simply stuck. You might not be enjoying life as you used to, or feel a loss of connection in your relationship or marriage. We all face different challenges at different times in our lives, but no matter what the issues are, we all have an intrinsic need to feel truly heard and understood. Through the process of therapy you will explore, learn, grow, and reconnect with your higher self while learning the skills you need to cope with your current challenges.
Angela M Lee
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

I specialize in working with children and teenagers. Just like many of us, our youth have been greatly affected by the pandemic. Difficult emotions like anxiety, depression and despair have increased drastically as our kids are experiencing changing environments with school, feeling cut off from peers and having worries about their ever changing future. I also work with adults with similar concerns; sometimes we just need someone to talk to and help us make sense of things. We are better able to face the unknown together.

Infidelity ocurrs in many marriages. You may discover your partner has had an affair, or many affairs, and now you are experiencing the devastation this creates. Feeling pain and anger are expected. Allowing both you and your partner to express what you are both feeling and thinking is vital to the healing process. I will help you through this. Looking at yourself and your marriage can provide valuable insight into why infidelity happened. Some marriages survive and become great, some do not. The self awareness you will gain from this process is life changing.
