Areas of Expertise
Anxiety
Mind racing, restlessness, constant worry or planning for the worst case scenario, a nagging feeling of uncertainty, teetering on the edge of burnout. There is always something requiring your focus, it’s name is Fear.
Depression
Hopelessness or disappointment, feeling a lack of purpose, struggling to enjoy things that used to bring happiness, a generalized sadness, or feeling stuck in a rut. Is life supposed to feel this hard?
Faith & Spirituality
Maybe in the countless church activities, you’ve started to feel lost in the motions. Maybe spirituality has always been a source of blurry confusion. Maybe you’ve never felt farther or more out of touch with God than you do today.
Marriage & Premarital
Messy as they may be, relationships enrich our lives. We long for intimacy and connection, but it’s easy to end up feeling disappointed and distant in what we hoped would be our closest relationship.
Life Transitions
Sometimes we get glimpses of feeling settled and secure, but often life feels full of transitions big and small. No matter how predictable or beneficial your recent change might have been, adjustment can stretch us thin.
Career
Did you know the average American will spend 90,000 hours of their life at work? The call to work is intricately woven into our identity. No wonder when work isn’t going well it can lead to a snowball effect of other difficulties.
Sense of Self
Are you familiar with the voice of your own inner critic? Sometimes shame feels so deeply intertwined with our stories that it’s hard to even imagine living life from a place of courage and confidence.
Embodied Living
The ways we engage with our physicality can be distorted and damaging. The topic of “body image” feels triggering, physical needs feel burdensome, and fitness goals seem to just bring more shame. What does it mean to feel at home in our body?
Stress
Stress is a natural response when we face a challenge. It can help motivate us to successfully navigate an obstacle, but under prolonged duration it can also build up in the form of tension, anger, depression and anxiety.
I know, I just described A LOT of different experiences.
Do you find yourself relating with one section in particular, or maybe a few seem to overlap in your story?
Brave ones,
Things are not the way they are supposed to be. We live in a broken world where pain comes to us through many different paths, seasons, and stories. No matter where you see yourself in these descriptions, counseling can serve as a pathway to healing where you are able to be seen, heard, and joined right where you are.
Knowing you are not alone can be a hopeful light at the end of a dark tunnel to help you find your way through. In counseling, we will uncover deeper parts of your story, honor your strengths, explore your suffering, and shine a light on new ways of thinking and feeling to help you find clarity and courage to move forward.
