Every human has the ability to heal. Sometimes, traumatic life experiences make that feel impossible to happen. You feel broken or unfixable. Maybe you ask yourself why you never feel quite good enough. Therapy can seem scary or uncomfortable, but it can be a wonderful start to healing and betterment. Asking for help is okay. As your therapist, my goal is to create a nonjudgmental environment that provides compassion, encouragement, and ultimately the support you need to begin the healing process.

Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, NCC

Bringing over 20 years of therapy experience, I help people change and heal from difficult life experiences such as unhealthy relationships, childhood abuse and neglect, and other adverse or traumatic events. Sometimes people know they have had difficult experiences and want to be healthier but they don't know where to begin. Working with an experienced clinician is a key first step to begin the healing process. I also help people who feel stuck knowing how to handle difficult or toxic relationships. I love teaching people how to establish healthy boundaries in their relationships, even with very challenging people!

Sara Tawil
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC
Verified
In my extensive experience, I guide clients in developing their inner strength, awareness, and wisdom in a non-judgemental manner. Often, fear leads us to produce what we fear most, which results in an unhappy and vicious cycle. In working together, the aim is to uncover dysfunctional patterns that are contributing to, or even perpetuating, your challenges. As part of the treatment process, it is imperative to remove both internal and external barriers. We believe that this will allow clients to cope with their extreme anxiety, and foster an environment that allows them to engage and function as their authentic selves.

Sara Lenz
Counselor, LMHC, CST

Making the decision to seek help is one of the bravest things a person can do and I am proud to be able to offer that help. I believe that change is possible when there is support and compassion present, which is why I use a mixture of therapeutic techniques to elicit those changes. I work with individuals, couples, and families to identify solutions and implement positive changes in the lives of my clients. Utilizing a strengths based approach allows hope to be a building block for that change and shift attention away from perceived weaknesses.
Melissa A Kress
Counselor, LMHC

Sometimes putting yourself first is one of the most challenging things to do, asking for help taking care of your mental health feels overwhelming these days. Add in daily stressors of managing schoolwork, job stress, family drama, peer conflict and just struggling to function normally can be too much for children and adults. As adults we may worry about how we look and seem to others, or have some other underlying issue we aren't comfortable sharing with others or may struggle to build deeper meaningful relationships to build our support network. Counseling can offer an outlet to process your concerns outside of that network.
