Most of us pride ourselves on our strength and ability to "get through" life challenges. Yet, there are times in all of our lives when we seem be in a 'bad space' or things just seem out of alignment. People come to counseling because they are struggling with an issue, relationship, unresolved feelings, or feeling numb and apathetic to the world. Sometimes, we need insight into our choices and behavior or the impact of family dynamics on us. Counseling is about gaining insight, overcoming challenges, reconnecting mind, body, and spirit, fostering positive connections with others, and flourishing.

You can’t believe it happened again. After repeated assurances to your loved one, changing habits in your daily life, and promising yourself you’d be better, here you are. You sit across from your them, crying, pleading with them to forgive you after this latest outburst. The look of hurt on their face is soul-crushing. Even once they accept your apology, the guilt doesn’t subside – if anything, it gets worse. You love this person so much, but you’re not sure your relationship can handle another blow like this. You wish you had some control over your emotions, and fear it’s only a matter of time before this happens again.
