Step into a new you and see how counseling can help you grow today

Counseling is about opening up to yourself and finding your inner voice. This can be quite powerful and freeing when done in a safe, comfortable, and collaborative space. Often times having someone to talk through stressors, frustrations, disappointments, and excitements with can bring about lifelong changes that move you towards a more meaningful direction.

Counseling can help you manage a number of things, some common reasons people reach out for help are …

• Big changes going on in your life

• Changes in your mood

• You are not happy with the way you have been feeling

• You don’t feel like your relationships are going the way you want them to

• You have lost a loved one

• Maybe you moved to a new place and are having a hard time settling in

• It’s the holidays and the stress is overwhelming

• Work stress consumes you

• Worries and thoughts about worries overwhelm you

• You just feel stuck and can’t find the motivation to get going again

• Things from your past keep popping up and you have a hard time moving past them

• You have experienced some things in your past that you don’t like or that make you feel sad/angry

• Maybe you are experiencing a life transition and need some help finding your balance again

Often times people wonder how counseling works. It’s quite fluid, actually, and goes at a pace with which you feel comfortable. I will be here to listen, to encourage, and to push you to meet your goals. Together we will find a schedule that works for you and helps you stay moving in the right direction.

Many people find themselves ambivalent about getting help and talking to someone about their private thoughts. The truth is that sharing your story, your experience, your inner world with someone can be quite liberating and freeing. Many clients find that when they speak in here and do work in between sessions they begin to see things in a different way. They feel happy, free, and excited about continuing their journey.

You’re here for a reason. You want to feel better. And I can help.

Are you feeling tired and unmotivated? Is it difficult to get moving in the morning? Have you lost interest in things or people that once gave you joy? Depression is something many of us experience and feel stuck in as time goes on. Sometimes these feelings are brought on environmentally (divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, etc.) and sometimes these feelings pop-up out of nowhere.

You may be thinking and feeling …

• You feel sad, tearful, empty and hopeless

• You feel worthless and are plagued with guilt, often focusing on failures from the past and self-blame

• You find yourself having angry outbursts with others, you are more irritable and easily frustrated

• Your eating patterns have changed, you may have either gained or lost weight without trying

• You have lost interest or pleasure in things that you once enjoyed like hobbies, sports or sex

• You find yourself either sleeping too much or too little

• You are tired and lack energy to keep going throughout the day

• You feel anxious for no reason and are agitated with others

• You feel like your thinking is in slow motion

• You have a hard time thinking clearly, concentrating on normal tasks, making decisions is overwhelming and your memory fails you

• Maybe you feel like you just don’t want to be here any more

• You have body aches and headaches that are unexplained

If this sounds like you now is the time to start talking with someone who can help you feel better. Life does not always have to be this way. Together we will find the root cause of your depression and get to work re-training your brain to think about life in a different way. Many times our automatic thoughts trick us into thinking in the same pattern every day, my goal is to help you jump off that track and develop a more balanced one. It sounds difficult, I know, but with a little support and guidance anything is possible.

If you are interested in overcoming your depression and want to feel better you are in the right place. Together we can make the lasting changes you need to finally be at peace with yourself.

Do you have constant thoughts of worry and dread throughout the day? Are you laying awake at night thinking about all the things you need to do tomorrow or that you SHOULD have done today? Do you second guess yourself and have a hard time making decisions?

Sometimes we all experience a sense of nervousness and worry at different points throughout our lives. That's normal. But sometimes nervousness, worry, feelings of dread, and anxious thoughts can get in the way of you accomplishing your tasks and feeling confident at work, in your relationships, and with yourself.

You find that your worries make it hard to finish what you have started or even start tackling projects you know will help ease your worries. It becomes a barrier to your life. It's overwhelming. Maybe you feel like making decisions is not as easy for you as you feel like it should be. You find yourself feeling like it seems easier for other people to make decisions and you want to feel like that. The thought of having to make a decision freezes you in your tracks, you just can't do it.

You might find yourself thinking... 

• I'm so nervous all the time?

• What's wrong with me?

• I can't even make simple decisions.

• It's too overwhelming to even get started on what I need to do, why even bother?

• I must be the only one feeling this way.

• What if I always feel like this?

• What if things don’t get better?

• What if everything falls apart and I fail?

• Why does my mind go blank when I try to talk?

• Why can’t I just feel calm?

YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. I KNOW HOW TO HELP.

START FEELING CALM TODAY.

I help by teaching you how to identify the thoughts that are driving your worries. By identifying your thoughts we are able to determine the root of where the anxiety is coming from. Maybe this stems from previous experiences, maybe from distorted thought patterns, or maybe environmental stressors. From there we will begin to reconstruct your thoughts in a more realistic, truthful manner that helps to decrease the worries you are having. The result is you start feeling better, less anxious, and more confident in not only your thoughts but also in yourself.

You can feel better and release your anxious thoughts. It is possible. Get started today on your journey and finally feel like you are thriving in your life. Overwhelming anxiety can be tough but you can feel calm again.
