You are feeling depressed or anxious, maybe overwhelmed and at a loss for finding direction and purpose. You are struggling to feel empowered and are often making unhealthy decisions. Your life feels out of control and your relationships are not satisfying. You may be struggling to manage school or work responsibilities due to stress or anxiety. It feels like life is so very hard and it feels impossible to have compassion for yourself or to feel connected to others in a healthy way.

Sometimes life throws us curve balls and with those hiccups in life come struggles in which we all need help. I believe that it is in those moments when turning to others is key to helping one heal and move forward with their lives. I see strength in seeking counseling for oneself, because that takes courage on your part to step outside of your box and seek help. Establishing a therapeutic relationship that leads to the development of trust is important for growth and healing of a client. It takes courage to take that first step towards counseling, I hope to be able to walk this step with you.

Have you ever had emotional pain, anger, trauma? Understandably. Life can be tough. Thanks to many smart people in my path, I have been trained to use assessments to target treatment, so that you can reach your goals. I have also been trained to do all this from a person-centered perspective. As such, I see therapy as a well-planned coaching session where we identify your goals, clearly define barriers toward reaching goals, and coming up with strategies for long-term success in achieving them. (Can you tell that I am also a veteran?) :). Let's see how we can work together to turn that frown upside down! ;).
