PARENTS, TEENS, BIPOC and LGBTQ. It is so hard when you feel alone and hopeless or worried that your best isn’t good enough, especially, for the people that you love and care about. Life keeps changing and it is hard to keep up when you don't feel like yourself. These changes can be related to school, career, fertility, gender, weight, sexuality, pregnancy, parenthood or caring for an aging relative. And the pain only grows when you can’t stop second guessing yourself, take that much needed break or friends and family don't quite understand.

Mallory believes that at any stage or age, all people have this in common: we have stories and are created for connection. While life can be amazing and beautiful, there is a deep awareness and experience of brokenness and pain — in ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Mallory believes counseling is an opportunity to enter into your brokenness and to find meaning, redemption, and ultimately healing and wholeness. This therapeutic process requires courage, authenticity, and a willingness to be vulnerable.

Counseling is the process of recognizing our pain and hurt (past and present), understanding the effects of that pain and hurt (as it relates to relationships, work, school, etc.), and making the necessary changes to stop the pain and hurt, and also promoting mental and emotional wellness. Psychologist Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become.” With that in mind, the hope and plan is to move towards one’s ideal, true self; moving from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? I believe the process of change through therapy should not only involve self-understanding and insight into the past, but beyond that it should also focus on helping clients to learn skills for present-time challenges. Therefore my approach helps clients to develop specific skills for thinking and acting in constructive ways. I am a proponent of therapist actively collaborating with a client to help him/her find ways to manage life better.

Do you feel held back, stuck, or pinned down by anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, relationship issues, or disconnection from yourself and others? Your struggles may have less to do with something you're doing wrong and more to do with impacts of trauma from your past, whether mild or severe, recent or distant. Sometimes it's not that we're not good enough or strong enough, but that our brains were deeply changed by trauma at pivotal moments in our lives. Mental health struggles due to trauma are much more common than you think, and the keys to breaking free can be found by exploring your life story in counseling.
