It takes strength to admit we are having difficulty managing problems alone. If you are anxious, depressed, feeling stuck or without hope you are among the many that often turn their lives around with the help of therapy. Processing our issues, prioritizing and developing strength are of tantamount importance. As a therapist I have worked with clients that have struggled with *Bullying *Communication Skills *Conflict Resolution *Coping Skills *Domestic Violence/Abuse *Family Issues *Mood Disorders *Personality Disorders *Phobias/Fears *PTSD/Trauma *Sex Abuse/Trauma *Sports Psychology/Performance Anxiety
The Empower House is the first facility of to help clients develop in every domain of their lives. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Strength Based Counseling and have also worked effectively with clients managing anxiety and panic disorder as well as agoraphobia.

Furthermore, as a former National Champion strength athlete I have helped athletes for years with coping with performance anxiety as well as managing expectations, appropriate goal-setting and focusing on process over outcome. I am a former certified personal trainer and have trained several champion athletes. Check our website http://theempowerhouse.net/
