I believe every person has talents and a unique purpose in life. Sometimes issues arise that cause distress and unhappiness. Do you awaken feeling ready to take on the day? Do you have a sense of drive, ambition, fulfillment and enjoyment in your life? If you have children, are they happy and reaching their potential? If not, then perhaps the support and guidance of counseling can help you and/or your children. If you are feeling stuck or challenged beyond your own resources, engaging in counseling can help you get back on the right track.

Have you or your child experienced significant trauma? After early trauma, children can struggle to attach to caregivers which can impact their ability to form healthy future relationships. Adults sometimes struggle when approaching difficult topics surrounding early childhood trauma, which can contribute to added barriers within the parent child relationship. While many adults are willing and motivated to help their children overcome adverse experiences, they may have their own unresolved trauma that continues to interfere.

The greatest power we have is our ability to choose one thought over another. It’s not the situation that affects us, it’s our interpretation. Sometimes it’s hard to take control and begin the process of change, but together we can work to bring mental clarity and mindfulness to begin experiencing life in a whole new light. There is resilience in us all and in our darkest moments we lose sight of our capabilities. No matter where you are in your journey, know there is always another way.

Are you a parent who’s concerned about your child or a woman navigating a new season of life? Sometimes, these burdens can become too much to bear on your own. Your child may have started behaving differently, worrying excessively, or having difficulties at school. You love your child, and it’s so difficult to watch them struggle and not know how to help them! Perhaps you’re walking through a season of grief or loss due to death, divorce, or another big life change. You haven’t felt like “yourself” in a long time, and it’s starting to impact the way you work, feel about yourself, and connect to the people close to you.

Hi I'm Jodi! I'm so glad you're here! I'm an Arizona native with over 20 years of professional experience working with families and kids kindergarten-college. My career path has led me through schools, non-profits and beyond. Still, everything I cherish about this work comes from what I learned working at sleep-away camp... 1. Making messes teaches us how to clean up. 2. Discomfort is necessary for growth. 3. Trusting ourselves teaches us limits and shows us what we are capable of. 4. We don't get anywhere without advocating for ourselves. 5. Nothing is more delicious than grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.
