My passion is to equip people to have more meaningful relationships, confidence in choices made and how to find peace in the midst of 'storms'. Whether you are struggling with anxiety about next steps, exploring assertive communication, setting healthier boundaries, engagement/divorce/marriage/blending families, grieving the loss of a loved one or truly any spot you may be, I am passionate about equipping and empowering my clients. Sometimes there is a need to evaluate our thinking and/or behaviors and know if what we think and what we feel is 'normal' or 'reasonable'. Personal development is a gift we can give ourselves and others. For some it may be reading book, beginning a new path, exploring faith or prayer. For some it may be beneficial to have a safe person to talk with.
If you have been reluctant to reach out, that is pretty common! Counseling can seem quite foreign to many people. It is an opportunity to reorganize your thoughts, have a different experience and *hopefully* heal patterns that no longer serve you. It is 50 minutes that you can be heard and explore a path forward.
Some common areas of work: Anxiety, Addiction, Body Image, Conflict, Codependency, Depression, Relationships (Family/Intimate/Work), Shame, Work/Career.
Sexuality/intimacy is an area of specialization that I think has huge implications for our health and happiness. My desire is to educate and guide people into a place of balance and so often this one area has created more challenges for people than any other. Maybe you have children and are unsure how to have 'the talk' or perhaps you have something in your past or present that is creating difficulty in a relationship, let me help you discover ways to move forward! What I can offer you is confidential space to be heard in a non judgmental way that often is unavailable in day to day relationships.
