Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. Therapy is the process of visiting the experiences that have contributed to how we understand ourselves, others, and the world.  Sometimes our experiences have resulted in emotions and thoughts that are more focused on fear and distress than connection and peace.  Therapeutic processes allow us to resolve our distress through healing the mind and the body.  Coping may get us through the moment but we want more than that for our clients. 

Trauma is an experience that can impact us in a way that interferes with our ability to feel safe both mentally and physiologically. While this does not always occur, when it does, we are left with a residue that affects our capacity to connect with ourselves and others.  There are also times when these symptoms are so invasive they result in Post Traumatic Syndrome (PTSD).  

  Relationships are the ingredients of  connection and care.  When we experience difficulties that teach us connection is harmful we naturally work to protect ourselves. These protective measures are often evident in our behaviors.  We believe in seeing the behaviors as symptoms and strive to provide treatment that will allow the person get to the root of the fear driving self-protection.
