A Well-Lived Life

At one time or another, you’ll find yourself in a transformational moment.  These moments can arrive unexpectedly, like losing a job, receiving a medical diagnosis, or facing the death of a loved one.  They may also arise from our choices, like ending a relationship, starting a new school or career.  Depression, anxiety, grief, isolation, and insecurity are uncomfortable – sometimes debilitating – emotions we may face amidst change.  With the right support, however, these moments can be opportunities for profound growth and transformation.  You don’t have to go through it alone; help is available.

Whether you’re a first responder, physician, nurse, social worker, police officer, or other helping professional, you encounter unique challenges in your day-to-day work.  Burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma – you know the buzzwords – are all too familiar.  They disrupt your sleep, affect your mood, hinder job performance, and strain your relationships and self-worth.  Having a skilled therapist to help you navigate these challenges and guide you to uncover lasting joy.  You don’t have to go through this alone; help is available.

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t want to turn out like my dad”, “I can’t handle the pressure”, or “I don’t have anybody I can talk to about what’s going on”, then you’ve come to the right place.  Being a man in today’s world can be hard.  The measure of a man, though, is changing – manhood does not need to be about dishing out tough love and keeping your feelings bottled up.  Being a man can be about having the strength to be gentle, patient, and compassionate to yourself and those you love.  Tackling problem patterns and complex feelings with a trusted therapist can help you become the man you aspire to be.  You are not alone; help is available.

If you or somebody you love is a member of the LGBTQ+ population, I don’t need to tell you that face complex issues that other groups may not.  Your identity, family system, social life, substance use, discrimination, spirituality, and sexuality play out in unique ways.  Having a safe explore what’s going on is vital to learning how to live a whole-hearted life.  Help is available.

If you are worried you might have a problem with alcohol use, drugs, or other addictions, reaching out to talk is a courageous first step.  Maybe you’ve had some uncomfortable feelings like guilt or shame, or have tried to stop your behavior but find yourself going back no matter how hard you try otherwise.  Sometimes addiction can lead to bigger issues like medical problems, job loss, relationship conflict, or other consequences that seem to get worse over time.  The support of an experienced therapist can you find lasting change.  You do not need to go through this alone; help is available.
