Individual & Couples
Counseling
Do any of these sound familiar?
I’m so stressed out . . . I’m more anxious than I should be, and feel like things are falling apart. I try so hard, but my worries won’t go away, and I’m exhausted from trying.
My marriage needs work . . . it’s not fulfilling, and no matter how hard I try, we are just repeating the same patterns over and over. I hate how hard this is, and I’m not even sure I want to be married anymore.
I believe in God, or at least I used to . . . my faith used to mean everything to me, but I don’t feel like I belong at church anymore. The teaching of Jesus still resonate, but I’ve also been hurt deeply by some of the people who claim to follow him.
I want more from my life and career . . . I want to have meaningful hobbies and relationships, and find ways to enjoy my job a little bit more.

You already feel bad enough. You might not want to even go to counseling, because you don’t want to spend hours talking about your feelings, while someone judges you and tells you everything you are doing wrong in you life.
Feelings are important of course, but even more so, you probably want someone who will listen without judging you, and help you figure out the next steps you can take in your life. Real, practical steps, that help you get more of the things you want in life: Less stress. Better relationships. A job you actually want to go to each day.
Imagine living a life of meaning that doesn’t include hiding from opportunities due to insecurity, or using pornography and video games to cope with stress and loneliness. How great would it feel to actually look forward to getting out of bed each day because you love the life you get to go live? Let’s find out together.

Women dealing with too much stress. Struggling with anxiety, rocky relationships, wanting more from your daily life, and not willing to give up or to believe that this is really all life has to offer.
-
Couples who want more than just “staying together for the kids.” This includes working to restore trust, build intimacy, and create great communication. Or even better, working to prevent some of those issues altogether through premarital counseling and early marital skill building that help couples build a strong foundation from the very beginning.

Christians, church leaders, or anyone struggling with issues of faith. Do you find it hard not to “fake it” while you are at church or hosting a Bible study in your home? Maybe you still have faith, but you want it to be more dynamic and powerful, and not just that thing you do on Sundays. Or maybe you are just fed up with the suffering that God has allowed in your life, and you have been hurt by other Christians who should have protected you, not hurt you, and you are ready to deconstruct your faith (or maybe are planning to give it up altogether).
Who I Work With:
My Approach
Some people might have told you that you are "weak" or "lack faith" if you seek out a counselor . . . those people are wrong. We were created to live life boldly, not to hide in the shadows, or to try and just "tough it out" while you flounder through it alone.
Asking a professional counselor for support takes courage.
Don't work yourself into exhaustion or try to tough it out alone any longer. You are a person of incredible value and have so much to offer your family, your community, your church, your career, and the world. Allow me, as your counselor, to help you take the next step toward creating the life you truly want to live!
