Life happens... and when it does it sometimes comes with an adjustment process that is challenging. The old adage goes "nothing lasts forever". But what happens when life's challenges seem to happen back to back? When you haven't quite figured out the lesson to be learned from the most recent challenge? Or maybe there's been so many challenges that have come your way over and over that you have come to the realization that you don't have the energy to get through this new experience alone. You may even be in the position to where this is nothing new; you are just tired of being tired and you are ready to overcome these obstacles with some help.
Experiencing depression, anxiety, parental stress and other mental health related issues are symptoms to the way you have coped with life changes. They become an "issue" when a resolution has not been reached within your expectation. This is when mental health counseling offers guidance and assistance in your process to heal, grow, and overcome this hump that feels like a mountain. When you decide to begin counseling with me, I can assure you that your mental health needs will be addressed using evidence-based approaches with a personalized plan based on your unique wants and needs.

As a person who has worked through mental health issues, I can emphasize and understand the mental and emotional burden that weighs on you before making the commitment to take care of your mental health needs. So you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. You are courageous for simply taking the steps to do something about what is happening to you.
