When our thoughts feel over-powering and overwhelming, when our relationships are uncomfortable and full of discord, when we feel unable to do what we believe we should be doing, counseling can help. Oftentimes finding a neutral non-judgmental partner to explore concerns and fears will bring clarity and peace, lower anxiety, and decrease depressive symptoms. Together we can acknowledge barriers to goals, explore unhealthy patterns, and clarify intentions and desired results.

Every new day is a new chance to change. Life comes with many stages and changes like getting married or divorced, having children, going to college, starting a new job or losing someone close.
