Ever have the nagging sense that things aren't getting better? Or a fear that life is working out better for people around you? Life can seem so complicated. And busy. It can seem overwhelming to think about how to fix a marriage. Or how to finally face that anxiety you've been running from. It's hard to think about finding time to start getting better. All these thoughts keep us stuck. Stuck in relationships that could be better. Stuck living in a grey depression. What could we achieve if we decided to get unstuck? Hundreds of people every day move from STUCK to a fresh START.

You know in your heart when it is time- time to figure out why you don't feel happy, or why you feel you are going in circles, or why you can't seem to solve an issue. You realize it is time to go in a different direction, to build strength and confidence, and to get though this current challenge. Are you ready to make changes and brave enough to walk away from patterns that are unhealthy? You deserve to live a life that you love- start today by beginning therapy!

Is your life lacking inner peace and joy? Do you feel overwhelmed and feel that you have lost yourself? Stuck in a never ending cycle of depressed feelings, anxiousness and worry? Are your relationships with your family and friends strained or broken? Life and relationships can be hard. You may have suffered trauma, hurt or loss. You may be dealing with situations over which you feel you have no control. Are you ready for a change?

Our significant relationships and life history have shaped our individual beliefs and behaviors. Often times those beliefs and behaviors prove to be limiting and may keep us stuck. At times, we find ourselves anxious or depressed, stressed in our relationships and out of balance. By increasing awareness and healthy living skills, counseling offers an opportunity to change your circumstances and/or your response to them.

Unsure if your child's behavior is age appropriate? Is your adolescent having difficulties in academics or social connections? Are you struggling with adjusting to life changes or reflecting on past experiences that cause you to feel uneasy? Not sure how to work out differences between you and your partner or within your family? I am here to help your child play out any fears, worries, and past traumas, help your adolescent feel empowered, find solutions, and discover self identity, help adults navigate life transitions, and help couples/families explore conflict. Most of all, I focus on your needs to cultivate trust and safety.

The Wandering is different than most other counseling services. Why? Because I recognize that true healing is impossible with psychology alone. I believe Jesus must be at the center of all therapy. I incorporate Jesus into my therapy...and it works! There is a way out of whatever pain you are experiencing.

Courage isn’t having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don’t feel like you have the strength. You need an immense amount of courage to stay the course and struggle even when you are almost ready to give up on life. I am here to listen, and walk beside you even when it feels like everything and maybe everyone is against you.

‘A speaker raises a glass of water and asks the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” His answer: “It depends on how long you hold it. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.”’ Occasionally, we have to set our burdens down so that we are able to recharge and prepare ourselves to continue moving forward. I am deeply committed to providing pathways to support and to create the best environment possible for clients.

Do you feel overwhelmed with some of your life circumstances? Have you experienced trauma: a divorce, job-loss, traumatic birth, difficult diagnosis, or domestic violence? Are you depressed, struggling with low self-esteem, lacking motivation, or needing help transitioning through life? I believe that every individual has what it takes to succeed and live a fulfilling life. Sometimes, we have to go through the darkest storms to see the brightest rainbows. Without the right tools and a safe non-judgmental space, it may feel impossible to weather the storm on your own.

Making the decision to begin counseling can be very overwhelming. Many times people think about coming for quite some time before they make the call. I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have about the counseling process to help ease your mind. We can work together to establish a plan that is best for you.

Often times life can get tough. It can affect you, your marriage/relationship, your family, your children, your ability to parent, your self-worth, and more than anything, your ability to overcome any obstacles you are facing. I believe within each of us we have the strength to overcome the impossible. Out of pain comes something stronger, better, and the ability to thrive. I believe you already have the answers you seek and you contain the ability to change the worst circumstances. Sometimes our paths are hidden by everything weighing us down, which can make us feel overwhelmed. This can prevent us from seeing a way out...

I have noticed that most clients want to understand what they are experiencing. They want to find relief from their symptoms and feel they have some control over their lives. With support and education, I have noticed clients are more receptive to treatment and recovery.
