The conflict has gotten out of control, or there’s been an affair. Something needs to change.
Do more than damage control: build a stronger, more vital relationship.
Anger and stress can be your body’s way of telling you something is wrong.
Learn how to listen to the message, and create positive change.
Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or parenting struggles have you feeling stuck. Or your life is on track, but something is missing.
Identify what you want, let go of strategies that don’t work, and start pursuing the life you deserve.
You recognize that something needs to change, but so far your efforts to fix the problem haven’t worked. Or perhaps there is someone in your life telling you to seek help. Like many people, you may hesitate to call a therapist. You should be able to figure this out on your own, right? What does it say about you to need help?
I get it.
I get it, because I’ve been there too. The first time I walked into a therapist’s office, long before I became one, it was an act of desperation. I was miserable and didn’t understand why. All I knew was I couldn’t take it much longer. My fear was that the therapist would think me crazy, or pathetic, or even worse, weak.
She didn’t, because I wasn’t.
You are not crazy, nor are not weak. Not knowing the answer doesn’t make you stupid. Your behaviors made sense at some point, they just don’t work anymore.
Here’s the rub. Being smart isn’t enough. It isn’t enough because understanding isn’t enough. Understanding is only the beginning. After that, you have to change. That takes effort and perseverance. It requires taking risks, failing, and trying again.
I will help you understand the choices you make, and offer a different perspective. We’ll develop a plan to turn that understanding into useful action.
When you stop waiting for things to get better, and start making them better, you are capable of great things.
I offer individual, couples, and group counseling. Please contact me and we’ll talk about my approach and see if I’m a good fit for your needs. I also teach Premarital Classes and offer individual Premarital Counseling.
