THERAPY
Growth, change, healing and recovery are attainable. You are worth the time and effort. You are valuable. When sadness, fear, anxiety and anger are daily struggles it often leaves a cloud on everything you attempt to accomplish. It especially clouds your relationships with others.
This is easier when there is a safe environment to practice new skills, share your story, and build trust. Strengthening mental health allows for growth in our contentment, growth in other relationships, and ultimately, happiness. Not perfection.
Christian counseling is available and focuses on 'Christ esteem' as vital to finding value and worth. Life is for service because Jesus's life, death and resurrection gives us fulfillment to endure and thrive amidst those fearful, sad, and anger-filled struggles.

GOTTMAN COUPLES COUNSELING
Did you know that couples on average wait 6 years before seeking help for a troubled marriage.! There is hope whether the problem is trust, emotional distance, or escalating conflict. I start with a strengths based focus using research based Gottman method interventions that work. Come and take the time to focus on practical ways to identify strengths in intellect, spirit and emotion to enhance day to day life and be satisfied with your love and friendship you find within marriage. Couples counseling are 50 min sessions. Couples counseling methods utilize a relational model (building skills and strengthening the bond through dyadic conversations) vs. a medical model. Therefore couples counseling is a private pay service.
