Counseling, also called psychotherapy, can help you identify what or who is causing you to feel anxious and depressed.

Are you in a relationship with someone who constantly puts you down, says you aren’t good enough, tries to control what you believe or do, criticizes your choices and negatively judges your efforts? It is very likely making your life miserable. The good news is that you don’t have to keep living this way.

Counseling helps caring, considerate but hurting individuals like you end the emotional manipulations that others are using. You’ve probably been told that you are too emotional. Or that you have nothing to feel angry or sad about. Or that you should just get over feeling bad about yourself.

And that doesn’t help, does it? If it did, you wouldn’t be feeling stressed out, worried, and like nothing you do makes any difference. Maybe you’ve started to believe it when your loved ones say that something is wrong with you because you aren’t satisfied with how things are. Perhaps they have you almost convinced that you need to be fixed.

You’ve probably tried positive thinking and self-help articles, yet still aren’t feeling good about yourself.

You feel trapped, and wonder if anything will ever change. You might think you’re the only one experiencing these disturbing feelings, but that’s not true! As a licensed counselor, my clients come to psychotherapy because these kinds of emotions are robbing them of happiness, health, and career success.

I help people who are struggling with emotions gain clarity and find solutions. From counseling you can get confidence and emotional balance back into your life. If others are not taking responsibility for their own actions, and instead are projecting blame, guilt, or shame onto you, remember it’s not your fault!

In counseling we can figure out what the causes of your struggles are, and we can work out solutions you can apply between every session. You can be appreciated! You can find your own, true, best self!
