Life happens to all of us, but it's the ability to become stronger and 'bounce back' from life's challenges that is the test of our true strength.

Psychotherapy is a lifelong arduous learning and self exploration process that will improve the quality of life. I approach therapy with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and respect. I will competently employ techniques in which I have received training to assist you in reaching your goals. Technics I may use are EMDR, hypnosis, confrontation, desensitization, homework, humor, imagery, 'I' statements, modeling, psychodrama, journal writing and role-playing. If through the course of psychotherapy an acceptable degree of progress is not reached, I will refer you to another licensed professional.

Do you feel alone, invisible, and unimportant, like the person you love is rarely there for you emotionally: so you pursue your partner and even have occasional outbursts just to try to get through to them? Do you feel overwhelmed, like no matter what you do it is never good enough to please the person you love: so you defend yourself, shut down, or turn away in your relationship? Are you feeling frustrated and stuck, like there is no way you can get through to the person you care about? Are you feeling depressed and anxious, and the problems in your relationship seem to make it worse? You don't have to stay stuck. There is hope.

Counseling Advantages introduces you to the values and benefits of the counseling relationship. First and foremost you are not alone. Life's challenges are guaranteed, and the journey of navigating them doesn't have to be limited. There is no judgement in the counseling relationship. Together we will explore and clarify the circumstances and situations you are facing and discover which direction is right for you.

Relationship struggles are my focus, and these may be considered alone or together. We can work to help you navigate high-stakes situations to strengthen your most intimate, important attachments. We all need to feel understood, and deserve to feel loved. Through a relational, systemic approach, we can explore and strengthen your connecting bonds and your place within them. Life is as much about how we tell our stories as it is the content of these narratives. Attachment is a key part of my work with romantic / sexual partners and families. Being newly seen and heard in more complete ways can be transformative and hope-inducing.

The first step in becoming a "BETTER YOU" is seeking help and I applaud you for taking this first step on your journey to health and well-being. As a counselor, my role is to listen and equip you with the skills, guidance, and tools you need to live your best life.

Mental health is steadily gaining global recognition. Fortunately, with exposure comes greater access to treatment for those with mental health concerns. Unfortunately, the flip-side to increased exposure is standardization; society is quick to turn to diagnoses and labels to simplify the complexities of human beings. Although diagnoses can be helpful, it is important to remember: you are not just not a label or a diagnosis. With Cal Hilsman at Compassionate Acceptance for Life (CAL), you will find a therapist that prizes each client as unique and encourages self exploration beyond the standard internet search.

Guilty. Shameful. Not enough. Damaged. Unworthy. Uncertain. Stressed out. Even though you perform well in certain areas of your life, you can’t seem to get past one or more of the above experiences. You’ve tried to push through, think your way out, or just plain get over it, but it’s not working. It’s time to try something new so that you can fully step into your highest, healthiest potential in all areas of your life.
