How can I help?
The value of emotions comes from sharing them, not just having them.
- Simon Sinek
Counseling is one of the best things you can do.
Taking the step to visit a Counselor is an act of bravery. It can be difficult to talk to strangers about your struggles, especially if you feel as though those who visit counselors are in some way “less than” people that do not require this type of help. I am here to help you and, more importantly, I care deeply about helping you improve yourself and your relationships.
Services
Individual
We can all agree, life is hard and it brings many different challenges. Whether you are single or in an active relationship you want to feel happy and confident in who you are. Many people that come into my office often tell me they don’t know who they are anymore or they’ve lost purpose. In your individual sessions you’ll be able to fully and freely explore just who it is that you want to be, find clarity, and learn from your past while doing so. Coming in by yourself allows you to have ample time to both emotionally process and create solutions for your situation.
Couples
Each marriage or romantic relationship is different. Whether you and your partner have been together for decades or months, it is inevitable that you will encounter challenges. These challenges can be influenced by the past and/or current circumstances. Couples counseling provides a space in which both parties can be heard, seen, valued and work together to create the type of relationship they desire. There is no one specific way a relationship should look, so, as a counselor, I offer perspectives, ideas and practical solutions that will fit your unique personalities and ambitions in moving forward. My goal is to help you strengthen and fortify your relationship while setting boundaries for keeping your relationship happy, loving, fun and successful.
Teens
Working with teenagers, especially in counseling, can be challenging. However, as a parent myself, I am grateful for the process in making a connection with them and helping them be successful in their future. When your teen comes in I focus on first creating a trusting relationship and then utilize that connection to help expand their mind, look at their behavior and mindset more closely. Teenagers often share things with their counselors that they’d never discuss with their parents. Allowing a teen the space in which they feel safe from judgement and punishment often leads to emotional, social, and academic growth in addition to increasing greater self-confidence.
