We Are Here To Listen...
We meet people where they are & walk alongside them to help them get to where they want to be.
There is a lot to see here. Take your time & look around. Ask questions. It’s good to be curious. I want to help you learn as much as you can. A healthier mind equals a healthier you.
We hope you are intrigued by what you see & take a moment to drop us a line or shoot us a message.
When it comes to choosing a counselor, finding the right fit is key. So, when you're ready, go ahead & schedule a free, 15-minute phone consultation.
Everyone has a story & wants to be understood. Every person has a narrative that comes from lived experiences & yours is like your fingerprint ... completely unique. You need to have the opportunity to sift through them & make sense of the things with which you struggle. Counseling is a great avenue in which to help you organize your thoughts so that you can vocalize your story.
A vital aspect of counseling is working together to set goals that are achievable. The goals set at the start of your journey together serve as a roadmap & a way for both you & your counselor to know if what you are doing is working, or if you should change some things up. You can't get where you are going unless you have a roadmap to guide you.
One of the most important skills a person can practice is mindfulness. Learning to be truly present in a moment has the power to redefine your relationships. When you can be fully present, you are capable of deep, fulfilling connections.
The relationships that you have with other people, especially those you love, are the marrow of life. Working with a counselor to learn how to identify healthy people & what healthy relationships look like can benefit you for the rest of your life.
Working with a counselor to improve communication skills can have life altering effects & strengthen relationships. It is important for you to know how to resolve conflict & express your needs in healthy ways.
Learning healthy ways to manage stress can be something that can change your life. The world you live in is stressful by nature & working with a counselor to find healthy ways to manage that stress can have profound effects on your overall well being.
Suicide doesn’t end the chance of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better. If you're in a dark, scary place & considering self harm or suicide, please reach out to someone you know or through one of these global helplines.
