Individual Counseling

"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending."
— Brené Brown, Ph.D, Rising Strong

No matter what stage of life we are in, change is possible! Societal messages related to standards for success and love are illusive and ever-changing. The truth behind the façade is that we all struggle in life and need support in order to grow.

Feelings of shame, hopelessness, loss of control, betrayal, disappointment and fear are universal experiences. When stuck in dysfunctional patterns, it can be hard to risk revealing our pain to others or to even know what our pain is related to.

Individual counseling can help clarify the source of painful patterns in your life and their influence on how you relate to yourself and to others. It is possible for you to move toward a more integrated understanding of yourself and your unique life experiences in order to create the life you desire.
