No matter who you are, life is always changing, filled with challenges, transitions, doubts, and sometimes successes. This is, indeed, the human experience, but you do not have to go it alone. Counseling is an available resource to help hone your natural talents and skills to find vision, motivation, meaning, and resolve through your choices and experiences. With the support of a professional counselor there are no dead-end scenarios. I thoroughly believe in meeting clients where they are at, treating individuals with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they come from, celebrating differences and individuality.

Laura Kangelaris
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, LMFT-R
Verified
Many of us desire to be close enough to our partner that we can risk sharing our deepest vulnerabilities or difficulties and trust that we will receive the acceptance and understanding we need in return. This is not always easy to create with a partner. You might be having the same fight over and over again, where intentions are misunderstood, or frustration gets the best of you and you push each other away or increase the conflict. Past experience tells you not to open up, you know how it will end, and things build up. Over time, you get protective, and your connection attempts come with an edge of defensiveness or resentment.

The right therapist will be very experienced, well trained and a magnificent listener. They will be able to guide you on a journey to emotional growth and persona healing. I encourage you to choose your therapist wisely and make sure they specialize in your area of need.

Counseling and Forensic Services
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS

When relationships get stuck in an unproductive pattern it is usually because people are reacting to the hurt rather than responding in ways that can solve problems. As a marriage and family therapist (in residency) I specialize in helping people find strength based solutions to address the challenges of managing relationships. The systemic approach focuses on the interactions of people (families, groups, communities) more than individual symptoms; however, this approach is beneficial when working with groups, families, couples, and individuals.
