Are you looking for support in removing what is blocking you from loving who you are, doing what you love, and connecting with the people you love? I can help you develop more positive relationships and become more aware of what might be stopping you from moving forward in your personal and professional lives. I provide an empathic environment that opens the way for self-discovery. I hope that you will feel supported and more confident as you take steps toward living a life you feel passionate about.

My ideal patient: You are interested in personal growth through compassionate self-reflection. You have a desire to better understand your patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, and reacting as you go about your daily life. You are determined to become your best self by embracing the patterns that bring you calm, peace, and joy while letting go of patterns that no longer serve you. You see potential positive impact between self-development and healthier relationships in your personal and professional environment.

I know that trying to cope with added pressures in life can create anxiety and depressive symptoms that, at times, feel lonely, strenuous, and persistent. What is often overlooked is the fear, guilt, loss, anger, and sadness associated with the changes it has brought to your life and those around you. Attending counseling can be an essential aspect of your healthcare strategy.

Hi I'm Brian Morgan from Universal Minds LLC where we specialize in Anger Management, AODA Services and Domestic Violence. The question is who can benefit from our services? The answer is individuals struggling with anger, addiction issues, families, couples, employees, managers, health professionals, etc. We provide trainings on stress, anger, communication and emotional intelligence. We provide 10-week groups/sessions dealing with anger and domestic violence. We provide an assessment and interview of participants prior to individual/group sessions. No matter what background people and clients come from- anger has impacted their lives negatively. We help people find solutions to destructive anger.

Has your life changed in a way that has left you feeling untethered? Loss is an inherent aspect of change — loss of comfortable routines and settings, parts of our identities, the vision of how we thought our lives would look, and relationships and people we hold dear. These losses reverberate and impact how we approach and react to all aspects of our lives, and I’m here to help you sort through which of your behaviors are serving you and offer unconditional support as you learn to leave behind those that are not. We'll work together to strengthen your self-knowledge and trust in your ability to handle whatever life brings.

I believe it is my role as a therapist to help support you in facilitating change in a nonjudgmental environment that offers accountability. We are a therapeutic team - you being the expert of your own experience and me being a sounding board for thoughts, feelings, and emotions. My therapeutic approach combines person centered therapy with aspects of cognitive behavioral (CBT), solutions focused, and dialectical-behavioral (DBT) therapies. This means we will implement skills for emotion regulation, communication, and facing anxiety while also making space to talk about your experiences.

Over the past 12 years, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples in a variety of capacities; at a hospital, clinic, community behavioral health organization, and within school settings. I went to graduate school to specifically study how each aspect of our system plays a part in our overall mental and physical health. I’m also certified in Integrative Wellness and Nutrition for Mental Health as well as Addiction Counseling. Feeling better requires changes within your entire system. One’s system might include family, friends, work, exercise, nutrition, school, social activities, alone time, running errands, chores, etc.

If you are feeling burned out, anxious, stuck, or just ready to make some changes in your life, but not sure how, therapy can help. Together, we can figure out what might be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and able to love yourself. As an experienced therapist, I will work with you to achieve your goals and restore a sense of joy in life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to building genuine rapport with my clients, thus holding space for healing emotional experiences. I believe that we all at times struggle with relationship issues, self-doubt, grief, and excessive worry – and that navigating and overcoming these are a crucial and beautiful part of this life experience (albeit scary and unpleasant at times!) I am honored to partner with you on this journey.

Life can be challenging and I believe people are resilient. I use a holistic, strength-based approach to meet children, adolescents and adults where they are at and create a safe, non-judgmental space to work through hardships.

Therapy doesn't have to be a serious, scary or daunting process. In therapy with me, you will feel comfortable and supported while receiving the support and tools you need to meet your goals and move forward. I have been a licensed clinician for 15 years and, in that time, have loved working with clients who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, depression, life stress and life transitions including parenthood, career changes, going to college and relationship changes and peer concerns just to name a few.

I offer coaching to sensitive women who desire a more sane approach to dating and relationships. They want meaningful connection but struggle to find it. They want to enjoy themselves more and be in their heads less. They want to have better boundaries, better choices of who and what they give their attention to, and better self-talk as they navigate the ins and outs of relationships. They feel over-sensitive; are questioning their life choices; are realizing they want to feel more confidence, connection, and joy.
