Welcome! Let us take a moment to acknowledge you for taking the first steps towards seeking help. I imagine this is not easy, but it is a sign of strength. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal and change, and learn new ways for improving their well-being. You can begin to heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. Often, we can attempt to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into various situations that take a piece out of us, leaving us fragmented and further away from tending to our whole selves.

All aspects of health: spiritual, emotional, physical and social, are interrelated. Therapy can be a positive step toward better spiritual, mental, and physical health and stronger, more resilient relationships. In working toward health, many challenges and difficulties (such as unproductive patterns of thought, behavior, and relating) will be considered. Clients may count on support as they identify, recognize, and use their God-given strengths, skills, and assets in this process.
