Your life doesn't have to be this way. The consequences of the past can impact our moods and our relationships right here, right now. If your partner is half-way out the door, your boss is reprimanding you, and you find yourself increasingly alone as your friends ghost you, it might be time for a change. Maybe one of your friends gets bold one day and says, "Maybe it is time you talked to someone." My clients tell me that therapy has helped them not "get over" a traumatic childhood or relationship, anger problems, or the suicide of a loved one, but put those losses in context, understand how our brain protects us from pain, and find better coping skills to rebuild a life worth living.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Board Certified Professional Counselor (BCPC) my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life that have stemmed from those difficult past experiences. I find that once my clients expand their self-awareness, develop a deeper insight, and find the true meaning and purpose of the events in their lives, they often times create new tools and coping mechanisms that better enable them to cope with difficult situations. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, individual psychology, and family system models we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you, your family and your children back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. lease call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation today. Doing nothing about what is bothering you, will not make it go away. Help is only a click or phone call away.

Work with a skilled, dedicated, experienced professional who can assist you in dealing with divorce, trauma, and life changes. Therapy focuses on developing relationships within the family through individual therapy for the child, parenting assistance, and family interventions. Life is complicated! Learning to navigate parenting issues, marital troubles, issues from our past, and integrating our world view into our lifestyle can be difficult--especially when we feel so disconnected from others. Counseling From A Christian Perspective Using the Bible in counseling is crucial for a Christian's growth. Learning from the timeless truths of the Bible with someone else can give a perspective and a power missing from other forms of therapy. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from unrighteousness. This type of therapy incorporates both evidenced based therapeutic interventions and Bible verses to facilitate change. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. For parents, the only difference in the Christian therapy and typical play therapy is the interventions at home--Bible memory and reading stories from the Bible that touch on specific issues in the child's life. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Helping parents incorporate their world view into their parenting is the goal.
