How I Can Help

SADNESS  |  DEPRESSION  |  GRIEF

When you can't find your way out of feeling down, hopeless or stuck in a rut, there exists a path of hope and healing when you bring it out from the shadows and talk about it.

To find love or to keep what you've got sometimes takes extra work, but if the result is a wonderful journey then wouldn't that be worth it?

 ANXIETY | FEAR | STRESS

Fear tells you to be on guard, be perfect, and don't mess up! Relief happens when you put fear at your side, not at the controls.

YOUNG ADULTS

A fun and carefree time of your life, yet sometimes feels lonely, stressful and 'extreme'. Thoughts can be unreasonable and take you down unhealthy paths unless you learn to challenge them.

SELF-ESTEEM

Are YOU your best cheerleader, or loudest critic? The answer affects every aspect of your life. Healthy self-esteem is the antidote to depression and anxiety. Reconnect with the person you want to be.

A NEW (BETTER) PATH

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. (Maria Robinson)

Regarding Fear...

You realize it's more of a habit than a truth.  
What you need is a better story about yourself.  
Your old story had to do with how afraid you were.  
Your new story will have to do with how resilient you are.

For Help Now with Anxiety and Managing Fears, Read Latest 'For Now, Try This...'

It is understandable to feel anxious during uncertain times.  When we don't have answers to our worries, we tend to fill in the blanks with worst case scenarios.  It doesn't take long for that way of thinking to affect our mood and our ability to cope, which can lead to depression, anxiety and anger.​ Counseling for healthier ways to think and feel is available so that you can better manage each day.
​
Counseling via phone or video sessions is easy to set up, covered by insurance, and can be just as effective as face to face therapy.
