Specializes in Anxiety, Burnout +8 moreTherapy is not a one-size-fits-all. Sometimes, we get stuck in our thoughts, behaviors, or unwanted patterns. Change can be difficult but essential. A purposeful lifestyle is about direction and purpose in daily activities, relationships, and personal growth. Essentially, it's living a life that feels meaningful and satisfying to you. It involves setting reachable goals that align with your values and passions, making conscious decisions, and taking action toward your overall well-being. My part is to help you see all your options and choices. My Christian worldview emphasizes compassion, service to others, and active listening.Next available:Sun Aug 30 @ 10PM

Specializes in Family Conflict (1 adult in session), Individual Therapy +5 moreI work from a strengths-based, holistic approach to therapy. I believe in helping you recognize and utilize your strengths to meet your goals. It's easy to focus on what is not going right in your life; however, recognizing and appreciating your strengths and the supports that exist in your life are vital to your success. You have a lot more going for yourself than you give yourself credit for. I will ask a lot of questions, and there may be some discomfort. However, growth doesn’t occur in your comfort zone. Change is hard, but once you recognize your abilities, it becomes a little less challenging.Next available:Tue Sep 1 @ 3PM
