Hi! Thank you for reviewing my practice information; I have worked for many years helping individuals and families. Over the years, I have often heard that my clients are tired, lost and just feel empty. And many times, there's also marital or family conflict. I, also, work with clients that feel that their work is no longer satisfying or enjoyable. Let's talk about all these issues, and find some solutions and start feeling hopeful and excited about your life again. My office hours are flexible; I try to see clients right away. I wish you the best, Maryann

Have you ever felt like words just aren't enough to express what you're going through? In my office, I offer a space where you can explore your emotions through either conversation or creative expression (or both!). Art therapy can be especially powerful for those moments when words fall short. Through creative outlets like drawing or painting, you can process emotions in a way that feels freeing and natural, often leading to deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges at hand. Whether through traditional talk therapy or the healing power of art, we will work together to uncover insights and guide your personal growth.

Life is hard sometimes. Unexpected situations happen. It's not always easy to figure things out on our own. If this is a time when you could use a co-pilot, a partner, to get back on track, or find a new track altogether, sit down with someone who cares and can help. Let's work together to identify your strengths and help you acquire new ones. I provide supportive, goal-oriented counseling to help you figure out an effective strategy.

I understand that it takes much strength to seek out assistance when needed. I believe we are not made to live in isolation, and we do best when we are part of a community. By recognizing the events that have formed us in life, we can learn from them and become a better version of ourselves.

You might be someone who has lived an intense life, shaped by service, responsibility, or long periods of being the one others depended on. On the outside, you function. You show up, you handle things. On the inside, it’s harder to slow down, relax, or feel truly at ease. You may struggle with loneliness or difficulty trusting others. You stay guarded or may question your own judgment. Your goals may include rebuilding trust in yourself, forming deeper, healthier connections, and finding meaning in this stage of life. You may want clarity, steadiness, and a way to move forward that honors everything you’ve been through.

Life is beautiful and there is much to be grateful for and yet it can feel incredibly tough at times. In those seasons, we often need someone to talk to, to help and walk with us in the journey. It may be anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship, or loss of a sense of self that affects your daily life, relationships, work, or career. You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and lost by trying to live up to someone else’s expectation. Even just getting through the day, and simple tasks like answering emails, texts or calls seem daunting. If you are hoping for support, you're not alone.

You have been meaning to start therapy for a while, but the process is intimidating. OR…
You've struggled to find a clinician who gets you.
You feel lonely and empty.
You are wrestling with understanding yourself and your identity.
Even when things seem to be going well, it feels like something is missing.
If this sounds like you, we'd probably be a good fit.
Rebecca at Grounded Counseling (that's me!) will help you with validation, practical suggestions, and once trust is established, deeper exploratory work. I will laugh at your jokes (if they're funny) and maybe make some (no guarantees they'll be funny).

Do you wake up dreading the day ahead? What would it be like if you were excited, motivated, and happy about life again? With a busy life, caring for loved ones, and working to provide, it’s easy to get caught up in the grind and miss the joy. Have you said to yourself, “There has to be more to life than this!”? You are not alone. Taking care of responsibilities and family obligations, meeting the demands of your job, and managing stress can wear you down and leave you feeling dull and drained.
