WHY LIFE LESSONS COUNSELING?

---

Everyone has something to work through.

Stuff happens, priorities shift, circumstances change.  Because therapy can help with so many things, it’s bound to be helpful for any person at some point in their lives. 

Participating in your own life is what’s most empowering.

You don't always have to just go through the motions.

Imperfect is welcome.

Feel free to leave your perfectionism at the door.

“Mental health” isn’t sexy, but taking care of yourself is.

Make your self-care a priority. All the cool kids are doing it.

You’re worth the time, money, energy and effort spent in therapy.

Therapy will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to get there. You’re worth the hard conversations and the babysitter and the extra hour you might have to work at your job. 

My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strengths.  

Whether you are experiencing psychological challenges such as depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief; are stuck in behaviors that result from past hurts, need to develop healthier relationships, are experiencing parenting conflict, or want to become empowered to achieve a particular personal goal, there is hope to find your solutions. I am here to help you find your path to peace and emotional restoration.
