Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all- consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

You're never too far gone in your marriage if you're willing to make the journey back. Dale believes that most families can thrive, and those who aren't have either forgotten how or simply lack the necessary skills. Oftentimes, the members of the family are interacting in negative ways that can be remedied with a change in thinking and behavior. Dale can help family members learn to function properly and rediscover the joy of being together.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and their families to achieve their goals through supporting healthier and happier relationships. Clients often tell me that our work has helped them to sort through their thoughts and feelings to gain clarity, to grow, to learn about themselves, to develop confidence, and to feel empowered to make important decisions. I employ a flexible approach tailored to the needs of each client. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, guided by the needs of the client. When trust is established, change happens.

It is a big step to seek out therapy, and I am so glad you're here. There are a million reasons why you might be looking for a therapist... life changes, overwhelming emotions, past or present hurts, addiction, relationship issues, and the list goes on. There is no right or wrong reason, no problem too big or too insignificant to potentially benefit from counseling.

Waitlist for new clients
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or past trauma that affects your ability to enjoy life and have meaningful connections? Do you feel alone or easily frustrated wondering if you are understood by those around you? Do you wonder if the emptiness you feel could change into a life that feels worth living? Now more than ever people are feeling disconnected and uncertain about how to find their place in life or move beyond the hurts they have experienced. I believe that it shouldn’t be so hard to live your best life. I believe there is hope.

Conversations have the power to heal. I’ve witnessed that time and time again. As a wellness and life transition coach, my primary goal is to develop a strong relationship with my clients and create a supportive environment where they can feel safe to explore their deepest concerns. My approach to coaching is guided by the belief that no matter how much you might feel like you’re stuck in a box or confined to only one path in life, there’s always another way. But sometimes it takes a good guide to steer you in the right direction. That’s where I come in.
