Work. Family. Friends. Why can't life be simpler? With multiple deadlines, a growing to-do list, and a family and social life that demands attention. You know that you can be successful, but you're beginning to think that you are dropping too many balls. The constant pressure to perform is turning into unrelenting anxiety and your performance is suffering. Therapy sounds like it might be a good idea, but no way can you dedicate seasons or years to making things better. Your work cannot wait, your spouse/lover cannot wait, you cannot wait. Efficiency is critical. Confidentiality is critical. But you're ready to do what it takes.

If you're looking for substance abuse counseling, you may be frustrated to find that most services involve large groups filled with unmotivated and court-mandated clients, large time commitments, forced self-help participation, or clients with much more severe problems.

The words heard are often "Boring. Gross. Everyone is using this. Everyone is doing that. Most people don't care. I don't care. Everyone has dysfunctional families. Am I normal for feeling this or that? Is anxiety just part of everyday life? Could it just be me and my feelings?" Are these your thoughts? Do these words circle in your mind? Are you stuck in this loop that keep's repeating? Do you feel stuck, frustrated and resentful? Does change seem out of your grasp? Is change something you might think about? Is change something that happens for everyone else so you just don't think about it? Think about it today.

Whether by necessity or choice, change and self-exploration can be hard. Often, taking the first step in seeking help can be the most difficult one. The fortitude it takes to face fears, address issues, trust in others and change behavior can be rewarded with leading a happier, more fulfilling and more meaningful life. In a safe and supportive environment with an atmosphere of respect, care and kindness, I work collaboratively with my clients with the goal of alleviating their suffering.
