How are you, really? From the outside, your life looks great. But you feel empty and depleted on the inside. You've lost your spark, and you miss it. Depression isn't always the "can't get out of bed" kind. It can be the wear a smile on your face, show up to work, and "keep on keeping on" kind. That is high-functioning depression and takes a serious toll on you after a while. You ask yourself, "Is this it with life?" It doesn't have to be. I can help.

Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.
