Overcome

Depression & Anxiety

"It's not uncommon for someone with an anxiety disorder to also suffer from depression or vice versa. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment."

Conquer

Healthy Boundaries

Learning to implement and maintain healthy boundaries is critical to the foundation of personal well-being and self-growth. It can be scary to start setting boundaries with individuals in your life, especially when you are a people pleaser. Therapy can provide you with the tools to build your confidence in relationships, find work-life balance, and gain a greater sense of your authentic self.

Challenging Family Dynamics

Do troubled relationships, abuse, trauma or conflict run in your family? Counseling can help identify patterns of generational trauma, heal wounds from adverse childhood experiences, and develop skills that will break the cycle of negative behaviors to create healthier family dynamics. 

Triumph

Over Challenging Life Events

Some of life's most stressful events can be good things, like milestones we look forward to-getting married, starting a family, starting a new job, retiring. While other times they are unexpected or unavoidable-loss of a loved one, financial difficulties, infertility challenges, accidents or illness. All too often when it rains, it pours. Life can feel overwhelming. "Research shows that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it."

Romantic

"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds."
