"It's not that bad."
"It will pass."
Even if this is all "true," let's be honest: we have all been through some crazy sh*t.
Counseling is all about getting an expert to help guide you through pain, numbness, helplessness, and feelings of dissatisfaction. I am here to help you move towards the person you want to become and the life you want to live.
Ultimately, counseling is what you want it to be. There is no "right" way.
“Something feels off.” If you’ve felt this before, know that you are not alone. Many of my clients come to me with this feeling.
I help people of all ages who are going through life transitions. I also see people experiencing anxiety or depression and help them work through buried or minimized traumas.
My clients often feel like something is wrong with them or feel like outsiders. They are people who think about the bigger picture in life but may not know how to apply that to their lives.
I engage individuals and couples in the present moment to learn how to reduce anxiety and depression and improve emotional well-being. In turn, you will have an increased self-awareness to find purpose and happiness.
My approach is unique in that it is directive, interactive, and insight-oriented. It focuses on the mind and body with mindful-based techniques and solution-focused collaborative guidance.
