Individuals come to me for counseling for so many different reasons. I’ll mention just a few. For some, it’s to find the courage to be independent and break away from what their parents, other loved ones, or society say their life should be. Others see me to get help mending their broken or dysfunctional relationships. Some want to connect with others but have trouble finding a way to do that naturally and safely. Others struggle with stress (family or workplace), depression, anxiety and can’t find a way to make it stop. Know this, is there’s help and you don’t have to go at it alone.

As humans, we all go through challenges in life that have a negative impact on our emotional, mental and physical well-being. Finding a safe place to be able to express your feelings, thoughts and experiences without judgment is vital as you journey through challenging and overwhelming moments in life. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, having a difficult time with interpersonal relationships or life transitions, let’s work together on dealing with these feelings in a healthy manner for you and those around you.

You feel overwhelmed all of the time, there’s not enough time in the day to do everything that is expected of you, and even your kids feel like a burden. You don’t feel close to your partner, and you’re not feeling motivated at work… feeling like a failure is a common experience these days and with all the guilt that comes along with it. You wish you could wake up with energy instead of the dread of doing it all over again, just like the day before. You want to have the energy to have patience for your kids and their needs, feel your best at work, and look forward to coming home afterward instead of stressed and resentful.

Counseling does not dictate one way to be or feel. Here there is no judgement, only support and guidance as we face your reality together, process any difficult or confusing matters within a safe space, make sense of your own unique story, and establish personal well-being in healthy ways that work for you. I have overcome obstacles concerning physical disability, grief, stress, anxiety, and financial conflict. Mental illness is not the only cause for counseling. If you are experiencing distress in any amount do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help. Everyone requires assistance at times and there is not always someone available.
