Individual Counseling

“There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems
that can be the impetus for our growth.”
– Fred Rogers

1669735276It seems like you’ve tried everything.

You used to be able to relax and enjoy yourself – losing yourself in a book, having fun with your family, or dancing with your friends for fun.

Now, you feel alone and sad even when others are around. Even your favorite food has lost its flavor.

And when was the last time you had the energy to cook anyway?

If it were simple, you would have solved it by now.

The constant worry has you tense and exhausted. Sometimes, you are so full of self-doubt that you feel paralyzed.

It feels like your shoulders are carrying the weight of the world. You toss and turn when you try to get some sleep and wake up with a headache. It’s getting harder and harder to concentrate, making it challenging to enjoy putting together a decent meal.

You feel so moody that sometimes you don’t want to be around yourself, making you wonder how others manage your company.

Happiness would be finding the motivation to set a goal, but at this point, it’s hard to remember who you are.

Let’s work together to restore your energy and focus.

Counseling is a safe and supportive environment where you can express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without judgment.

I can show you coping strategies to manage your symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other conditions.

While working with me, you will learn mindfulness, relaxation, and cognitive therapy skills that free up energy.

Invest in yourself first for a change.

Learn to reclaim the power of each moment and to stop putting everyone else before you using mindfulness skills.

You’ll learn to identify and change problem thinking with cognitive therapy skills. As you master various relaxation skills, you can feel the tension melting from your body.

You can learn to resolve pain and discover choices you didn’t know you had as we work to gain insight and understanding into the patterns that kept you stuck.

Work through transitions in life.

Life offers many transitions, such as divorce, job loss, death of a loved one, retirement, illness, and many more challenges.

Therapy can help you improve your relationships by gaining communication and conflict negotiation skills.

Build hope and motivation for the future and explore your spirituality and ability to guide your growth and development as a person.

You have someone to walk beside you.

Not all your discoveries in therapy give you comfort, but you won’t be alone. I’ll be an open, welcoming person here to support you as you connect to the deepest part of the Self.

My patient, accepting, and nonjudgmental style creates a trusting container for self-exploration.

I frequently hear from people, “You made me feel so safe that I was finally able to share everything that I have been struggling with.”

Let me be a companion on your journey.

1517688029Discover your values and your value as a person.

Learn to put these values into words and write them on your heart. In therapy, you’ll discover that your sense of peace and connection to the world doesn’t depend on external circumstances.

There is no island where everything works out. Once we have connected with our interior world, we can find peace in almost every circumstance. Our unconscious mind will use all circumstances to help us move toward a deep connection with ourselves and gain wholeness.

During our work together, you’ll expand your capacity to be with self and others – in good times and bad.

I’ll be a coach to your success.

Start your journey to deep connection.

Being stuck in this holding pattern has gone on too long.

Let me help you live the life you’ve waited to have. It’s my calling to help you experience a deep connection with yourself, your loved ones, and your community. No more suffering alone. I’m ready to help you!
