Stress & Anxiety Counseling

Stress and Anxiety manifest themselves both mentally and physically in our bodies. The good news is you can learn evidence-based interventions that allow you to regain control of your thoughts and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Mindfulness, EMDR, and Solution Based Focused are just some of the proven modalities used during sessions



Psychotherapy brings light to the root cause of your stress and anxiety. Before you know it, you will identify your anxiety-inducing triggers and alleviate the stress with practical strategies.

Grief & Loss Counseling

The broken-heartedness of grief brings many to seek professional help. Grief presents through denial, anger, bargaining, isolation, depression, regret, and hopelessness. Leaving you wondering how you will go on without your loved one. Your life is forever changed.  Learning to embrace your strong emotions and give yourself compassion can bring balance to your life after the death of your loved one. 

Loss is not just related to death. Loss can present itself with life transitions, job loss, illness, instabilities, and even aging.

We offer a supportive environment for you to access strength-based skills that cultivate the healing process. Giving you the ability to find hope. It's okay to feel, respect your emotions and learn to live after loss.

Counseling for Depression

Clinical depression is more than just feeling sad. When your sadness causes despair, loss of productivity, lack of motivation, and fatigue. You need more than someone saying “get over it or snap out of it”. As with stress and anxiety, there are evidence-based interventions to move you from hopelessness to hopefulness.

Feelings of sadness are part of our human experience, however, you can learn to overcome the debilitating effects of depression. Depression therapy exposes the darkness and brings forth the light of healing. It provides emotional support in a collaborative setting as you identify and address the root causes of depression. Let’s develop strategies for dealing with daily life and finding meaning and purpose in it again.
