After many years of independence, you may find yourself responsible for providing care for an aging parent. Your life is full and busy, with families, friends, careers, and local community participation, but you may also feel a duty to support your parents’ well-being during their sunset years. Instead of feeling numb to the stress, asking for help can be rewarding and fulfilling as you care for your parent.

As a therapist I've learned: "TALKING HELPS"! When you're not feeling your feelings or you're 'alone' with confusing feelings, then hopelessness or depression can set in.

If you'd like to have an idea of how I work feel free to check out my YouTube channel at YouTube.com/BradShore.

The journey of life can be a challenging one. We are often faced with situations and events that challenge us. Sometimes we feel alone, confused, uncertain, or afraid.

I will help you navigate through life challenges and help you gently face your deepest struggles.

You may find yourself constantly doubting yourself, often asking others for their input about major life decisions.

Therapy is a safe and supportive haven to remind you that YOU matter. Your desires, strengths, and needs deserve to be held and acknowledged.

You are a complex being. You've had painful life experiences that continue to impact you even though you don't want them to. You may find yourself feeling stuck, reacting in ways that don't make sense, and reliving past experiences over and over in your thoughts or even in your dreams. Fear comes out of nowhere, and it is exhausting being on guard all the time. It may feel like you can't trust anyone, sometimes not even yourself. But healing is possible. You deserve joy, peace, and deep healing. When you heal, you heal the generations before and after you.

Their goal would be to get back to life as they know it and continue with reaching their personal goals.
