When you realize you're struggling or you are at a difficult point in your life, the awareness can cultivate growth. Reaching out for assistance is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of your strength and motivation for change. It shows your readiness to address what is needed to move through the challenge. Stress, anxiety, past traumas, life transitions, relationships, or any other challenges can knock anyone off balance. If you are having issues as an individual or as a couple, we can help you.

For many, counseling offers the possibility of making a lasting and positive change in your life. Physical, emotional and environmental wellness all factor into one's mental health. Many issues can contribute to challenges with mental health including situational stressors such as loss, relationship conflicts, employment struggles and life transitions. In addition to these stressors, some people struggle with issues from childhood or unhealthy patterns that sabotage their relationships. A good therapist should believe in their clients potential for change, growth, and healing. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment that works in partnership with my clients.

Do you ever feel: Confident on the outside, but your insides are filled with self-doubt . Wonder if these self-doubts are holding you back professionally and personally. Tired of being on edge, constantly anticipating the worst. Posses a strong inner critic inside your head beating you up. No matter how accomplished, it doesn't feel like it will ever be enough. Is the inside of your mind a hamster wheel of ruminating thoughts. Are your stuck in the same old patterns. that keep knocking on your door asking you to notice..it's time to make a different choice.
