Are you feeling overwhelmed with the stressors of daily life? Do find yourself struggling to heal from painful past experiences or overthinking about the “what ifs" of the future? Are you and your partner having difficulty communicating and resolving conflict? Perhaps you even desire more connection with others in your life, but find it difficult to show your authentic self out of fear that you may not be “enough.” If so, know that you are not alone.

When the path of your life turns in an unexpected direction you may feel uncertain, overwhelmed or lost. Your circumstances and emotions might seem unpredictable and unfamiliar. Together we can move toward an understanding of what has happened and how you might adapt. Your challenges may become an opportunity for you to learn more about who you are and what unique strengths you possess that will endure and help in dealing with future obstacles.

If an acorn contains within it an oak, so also you began your life with the prospect of becoming a certain person, your natural self. Like that young oak, which managed to grow somehow despite poor soil or too much shade or scarce water, you also have survived. But your growth has been affected by some toxic experiences, some injuries. Despite those woundings to your natural self, you can still imagine who you are meant to be. In fact you have already begun to realize who you really are, despite the distorting influences that you have been through.

I understand reaching out for help can be a difficult decision. Making that effort can be more difficult. Recognize, and give yourself credit as you've taken that first step towards improving your emotional and mental well being. I believe in meeting a patient where they are on their personal journey. Life stressors' can be deeply personal and painful. I am very humbled and honored to be a part of that journey. Together we will establish rapport and trust. I look forward to meeting you and discussing the potential you possess from within. Sending strength, empowerment and peace to you.

It may surprise you to learn that I do not give advice. Instead of advising, I collaborate with you to solve your problem(s) by helping you to experience your own competence. I believe that this competence comes from the power God gives to each of us to change, grow and produce what we most desire for our lives. Once this power is realized, there is no limit to what you can achieve. If you are almost without hope, think again. Give me a call so together we can make your dreams come true.
