Are you struggling - sadness, anxiety, grief, regret or shame? Trauma that seems impossible to heal? Relationship stuff? Wanting to thrive, yet feeling stuck? Being human can be a herculean challenge. Finding peace, hope, joy and love transforms how we show up in the world. I believe God is foundational to well-being itself. Connection to a loving God, who is good, all-capable, and intimately cares for you, is the path to coming home to our true selves. In this place, we can move forward in healing and are able to connect with others in beautiful, genuine ways.

Greetings! I am Dr. Stokes, and over the past 25+ years I have worked with clients seeking help with their relationships. I work with individuals and couples. Using a Structural Family Therapy approach, I address the six components of intimacy and help couples build connections across all six. I also incorporate Attachment Theory to address family-of-origin wounds that hinder intimacy. Lastly, because finances are one of the main causes of stress, I have recently added Financial Therapy & Financial Coaching to my skill set. I believe in providing "how to" skills so you feel more confident to handle whatever life throws at you.

My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, comfortable environment to build a trusting relationship with my client. I am flexible for each individual client. I value the ability to listen to a client without any predetermined goals of my own. The client goals for treatment are determined by the client or a collaboration between the counselor and client that is acceptable for each client. I hope to guide a client toward progress through personal exploration and encouragement. My personal faith tells me God is our only true healer. I love to include faith into the healing process when it is requested.

Tyler is committed to helping you end this negative cycle. By getting below the surface of behavior, he helps couples bring awareness to the deep, underlying emotional needs within themselves. A new bond is formed, where each partner is able to feel safe, supported, desired, and loved.

I help married couples in distress re-discover their passion for one another, bring peace to their home and reach a new level of relating and enjoying life together. Martin Luther King Jr is attributed as saying "Faith is taking the first step when you can't see the whole staircase." Sometimes taking that first step, like calling or emailing a therapist you've never met, is a bit daunting. But what might happen if you give it a try?

I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.

Making the decision to seek a therapist is the first step to caring for yourself. My focus has always been teaching new mindsets and behaviors to create the life you want. Many people have an expectation of what they think their life should be based on family, friends, or societal expectations. People often chase happiness while dragging along their baggage from the past. But true peace comes from identifying our own expectations and what will bring us fulfillment. I encourage you to take the pressure off from trying to figure these things out alone. If you think I could be a good fit, give me a call. All clients are welcome.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place for all of us to be real. In a world filled with perfect images and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who we actually are and where we want to be. Life is filled with ups and downs. It's a privilege helping people navigate through the journey in a compassionate way. I enjoy working with clients aged 14-100 who need help with self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety or couple dysfunction. Now offering Friday appointments.

At various points in our lives we can find ourselves at a crossroads and in need of guidance to help navigate through the difficulties of life. I believe that it is imperative to process through the emotions and thoughts we experience in an environment where we feel safe to express ourselves exactly as we are. I enjoy working with clients who have a desire to intentionally look within every aspect of themselves to gain a better understanding of who they are, where they need to grow, and what areas need healing that can allow them to walk through life more confidently.
