"*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* When we experience emotions such as anxiety, depression, uncontrolled anger, or even thoughts of suicide, we may believe we are defective or broken. These symptoms contain valuable information and are worthy of attention. They are not character flaws. Extreme beliefs and emotions arise from various factors which can result in physical, emotional, or mental pain. Seeking help is a great first step to bring peace of mind, emotional relief, and balance."

"You’ve been thinking about counseling, but nothing has felt right yet. Maybe that's the problem - so much feels wrong right now.

You're ready to change something, but you want to be sure whomever you work with has a plan to help you. You want to feel more confident again, and some direction and support could be the thing that changes everything. "
