Sometimes life is difficult and the way we have coped in the past is no longer working. Does your life feel like it is spinning out of control? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does your anxiety/depression keep you from doing the things you used to love to do? Does someone you love keep hurting you over and over with words and/or actions? Are you not sure of the next step to take? If any of these questions hit the nail on the head for you then it may be time to talk with a counselor.

Do you feel like you have to be “the bad guy” in order to get your child to listen or behave? Maybe you find it hard to connect with your child(ren) or even your spouse. Are they distant, always on their phones/laptops/tablets, or just want to be left alone? At this point does it feel like every person in your family - your child, spouse, parent(s), etc. - just might as well be speaking another language or live on another planet because you just are not understanding each other.

My ideal client is one that perhaps is not very sure what they need or want, but is open to discussing, exploring, and addressing any issues that may arise. They are particularly uncomfortable with being vulnerable, but will allow a few conversations to explore what their particular and specific issues may be, including past traumas and sexual abuse issues. This client would be open to exploring their spirituality (not religion) as a means of improving coping skills and strategies.

Negative experiences can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and desperately grasping for answers despite having had positive experiences. Sometimes, we can feel quite stuck or as if everything is out of control. However, there is opportunity for hope and change fueled in part by acceptance, resolve, action and faith. The experiences of our lives do not have to dictate who we are or who we are to become; rather, we can allow them to inform who we choose to be as we move forward in our journeys. My goal is to serve alongside you in the most helpful way possible as you journey towards your destination.

Have you ever felt like getting out of bed or taking care of even the most basic of things just feels like too much work? Do you toss and turn all night, your brain constantly bouncing from one terrible thing to the next? Do you feel like you don't have the energy to breathe? If the answer to these questions is yes - then we should talk. You can find the motivation to do the things you used to enjoy. It is possible to quiet your brain enough so you can get enough rest. I have spent my career helping people to combat issues just like these. Call or email me today and let me help you get back to being you.
