"Life is NOTHING like the fairy tales we read when we were younger. We wear so many hats: Parent, Spouse, Employee, Friend, Sister/brother, etc. At times, we can feel like hamsters in a never ending cycle of racing in a wheel.

"Anxiety, depression, stress, relationships: Sometimes it's good to have assistance. Maybe life is exceptionally difficult now. Maybe you need space to re-discover the goals that are buried in the stress. Or maybe you're in a relationship, trying to get closer to someone important. Therapy can help. In the therapeutic conversation, we can look under the surface. We can find the buried tangles that dull your satisfaction and block you from making change. And we can sort them out. Gently. Safely. I support both 12-Step and Moderation Management approaches. Joe Richard Turner is listed at AllTherapist.com"

"You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you no longer recognize this version of yourself. Maybe you've tried "fixing" problems with limited success. Lived experiences shape who you are. They provide insight and strengths, as well as challenges. Therapy is about understanding who you are right now, finding balanced between pleasant and unpleasant, and growing toward feeling more whole/complete - individually and with others. Stress, perceived failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. I will help you create space in your life to strengthen what's already there, and build the rest healthfully."

"If a person suffers with physical pain, seeking treatment is expected. I believe we should do the same for emotional and mental pain. Whether it be a divorce, death of a loved one, issues from childhood, uncertainty with major life decisions, or a past/recent traumatic event, life can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected from people and things that mean the most to us.
