NOW Accepting CLIENTS! If you are seeing this, you might be feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and drowning in worries and fear, barely able to keep your head above water; your mind racing with thoughts of every worst case scenario and replaying every mistake you’ve made. Maybe you are so afraid to be your true self out of fear of abandonment and shame that you build up walls to keep people out. Rest assured, this life of ours is hard and can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone! Congratulations, you are taking one of the hardest steps: Reaching out for help.

Are you feeling anxious, off-kilter, or struggling with emotions? Maybe you wish you could connect to others in different ways, but you don’t know how to start. Perhaps you want to change how you relate to your child but don’t know where to begin, or are trying to cope with a loss. My philosophy is that our relationships and experiences set the tone in how we relate to others and ourselves. Uncovering unhealthy patterns in relationships and thinking can free us to change how we experience and move through life, opening us up to healing and health.

I provide a safe and supportive environment to work on these issues together and to find a better understanding around how to make positive change in your life. I offer space to explore your issue and also practical feedback around changes that could positively influence the issue at hand.

If you're here, your outward "I have it all together" face is silently crumbling. You feel confused, overwhelmed, like you're losing control, and you don’t know how to stop the collapse. You can have a different story. What if you felt free, happy, confident, and life felt manageable or even enjoyable? What if you could understand what is fueling the chaos and resolve it, for good?
Lacey Jones
Counselor, EdS, LMHCA, LPCA
Verified
First and foremost, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and a good fit. A personality match as well as the feeling that you get from talking with a counselor should be one in which you are feeling primed for openness, vulnerability, and empathy which should permeate all aspects of what we will be doing. To put it plainly, the "vibe" in which you feel when consulting with a counselor for the first time should be one in which you might describe as comforting and affirming, in whichever way you might define that, even if it's a challenge to put words around it.

Do you struggle to see yourself as a person with inherent value or struggle with feeling safe due to experiencing sexual trauma and interpersonal harm? Do you have overwhelming anxiety, hopelessness, or loneliness? Do you feel disconnected from your body and feel sexual shame due to growing up in religions that elevated purity culture? If so, it would be an honor to join you on your journey to connect to your body and increase a compassionate relationship with yourself. My role is to join along side you and help you reach your mental health and trauma recovery goals.
Jen Daugherty
Counselor, LPC, LMHC

Feeling exhausted from the chatter in your mind? Reworking that thing you said last night, "what if..." Worrying about what will happen tomorrow or next year? Sleep can restless or evasive when anxiety is high. Would your friends and family be shocked by the comments, self -recrimination, and judgments floating around in your head? It can be exhausting keeping up the pretense of having it all-together. You probably mostly do have it together: great job, friends, a loving partner. But you wonder why it's not more more enjoyable? Or maybe two or three areas of your life and fantastic but that missing piece is leaves you longing.
Sarah W. Thompson, PhD.
Psychologist, PhD

If you are feeling unhappy, I'd like to help. Therapy can provide a caring safety net to increase your sense of well-being and help you navigate challenges. I make it a priority to provide a productive and safe experience in therapy where you can identify what you need in order to feel better. Together, we can work towards noticeable changes that can make your life better. As a licensed psychologist much of my training across the country has been working with people who are struggling to adjust to a difficult or painful experience.
Walt Ghant
Counselor, MDiv, MA, LMHCA
Verified
I enjoy collaborating with clients to envision new possibilities for personal growth and development. Life is stressful, to say the least. Persons looking for new ways to start fresh and gain skills to improve their overall quality of life sometimes require assistance. Working with persons who are motivated to explore life barriers and forge ahead in life with purpose and self-agency is incredibly rewarding. Often answers to the questions what, when, where, and why are found through re-imagining the life you truly want to live. A journey of discovery may be difficult, but ultimately worth the process to achieve desired outcomes.

Parenting is the hardest job. You've dong everything you can think of to support your kids. And still they struggle. You’re doing whatever you can think of. You’ve sat with teachers, talked with doctors, argued long into the night. Nothing has helped. You’re to the point where you just want to quit. And you feel terrible about it. I get it. I've been there. Your temper is short, you feel grouchy all the time, and time spent at the office feels like a vacation. This was not in the job description.

All of us will encounter times in our life when we need help; there's no need to wait for crisis to do that. Perhaps you feel disconnected from your passions, your family, or your community, overwhelmed with emotions and life transitions, or stuck in cycles of uncomfortable and intrusive thinking patterns. Or, maybe the stress of it “all” is just getting to you! No matter what the issue is, I’m glad you’re here! Taking that first step is often the hardest, and it would be an honor for me to support you in this journey of change and rejuvenation, as I have years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Counselor, MA, LMHC

As humans we all face challenges and many of us face trauma that has an impact on us throughout our entire lives causing depression, anxiety, PTSD and other various mental health concerns. These concerns can be the things that hold us back from living our life fully or being able to create a life we believe is worth living. In my practice with clients I attempt to help people discover a way for themselves to find health, move forward and start thriving instead of surviving.

My caseload is full and I will update my profile when openings are available. Contact my office if you would like to be on my waitlist. People are resilient and capable of change to improve the quality of their lives. Whether desiring to get unstuck from a pattern of behavior (e.g., ineffective communication or substance use); struggling with anxiety, fear, depression, or trauma symptoms; or facing a difficult loss or transition, people often feel alone in their suffering and desire for change. These are human experiences. You are not alone. Together we will partner to identify and treat the crux of the problem.
