Learn More About Me At: https://cascadescounselingservices.com/ Are you having a hard time dealing with changes in your life? Or are you a couple struggling to connect & communicate? Maybe you feel the spark dwindling and you don’t know how to get it back. You are not alone. Through the many phases of life, we transition and face hard things. Many people find it hard to cope & stay connected with loved ones when change keeps happening. Although you might think hope is lost right now… change IS possible. I specialize in working with adults who are going through life transitions, couples struggling to connect & communicate, & those who have experienced trauma at any point in their lifetime. The approach I will use to help you will be tailored to meet your specific needs. There is not a “one size fits all” style/method of doing therapy. Our first sessions involve me learning about who you are & your background. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your struggles are & from there we can begin working on your goals & any immediate concerns you have, like managing difficult emotions & challenging life situations. During counseling sessions you may learn new skills such as grounding skills, ways to effectively communicate with your partner. I will help you process your experiences, emotions, and thoughts & can help you point out the blind spots that we are sometimes unaware of. If you are struggling, it may not feel like it, but you have the capacity to overcome challenges, increase intimacy with those you care about & create a plan to manage in the future. Reaching out for help is a humbling & vulnerable step, but it is courageous. Through our work together, I will provide the guidance, support & encouragement you need to reach your goals, access the entirety of your capacity for change, & reconnect to what matters to you. Through committed work in & outside of the therapy office, I have seen first hand the progress that clients can make. Even in the midst of transition & stress, individuals can find calm, clear-headedness & capacity for reaching their goals. And, despite hardship & disconnect, couples can learn to reconnect, deepen intimacy & fall in love all over again.
