As we move throughout our lives, there are instances in which we find ourselves experiencing feelings that can be hard to describe, let alone understand. Mood changes, life transitions, trauma, loss and self esteem issues are just a few of the elements we encounter in our quest to have a fulfilling life. Learning how to optimistically cope with or eliminate these feelings altogether is a daunting task but with the right effort and determination, the goal is attainable.

Our counseling philosophy is based on solution focused theory whereby we help individuals and families identify stressors which may lead to anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues and guide development of coping skills to problem solve. We find that learning to communicate with others in an assertive, non-aggressive manner facilitates creating a foundation for loving, supportive relationships. Although most sessions focus on a narrative, conversational approach, we often incorporate art therapy/play therapy in working with clients of all ages. Our clients are self-motivated individuals/families committed to improving their lives.

Something just isn't working in your life. Your fights with your spouse are on the wash-rinse-repeat cycle. Motivation and drive have left the building, so you binge Netflix and feel guilty for not being productive. Your inner critic won’t stop telling you how bad, fat, or disappointing you are. You look in the mirror and see someone you hate and/or a body that disgusts you. You don’t like the way things are, but you don’t know how to change, and trying to do it yourself hasn’t worked.
