Individual Counseling

What Is Counseling?

People seek the help of a counselor for many different reasons. You could be suffering with anxiety, increased stress, family and relationship problems and more. Most of us find it hard to ask for help when thoughts, feelings, or memories are bothering us. We keep them to ourselves and hope they’ll go away on their own. Even when they don’t, we often feel as if we should be tougher and smarter and just figure it all out on our own.

Why struggle alone?

Getting professional help can be the shortest route to feeling better. You may not know this but according to research, people recover more quickly from stress reactions when they address their issues early on and get professional help.

I can help you address many situations that may be the cause of your emotional pain and distress including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, career change and job stress, social difficulties and adapting to life transitions.

I will provide you with the opportunity to explore and share in a safe and confidential environment, without worrying that your information will be shared or your feelings judged. I will provide insights and regular feedback that will help you develop skills to improve your relationships, increase your self-esteem, resolve/change unhealthy behaviors and become more creative and productive.

*If you think you may be suffering with depression,you may wish to utilize one of the following self tests. The truth is you may not know how you are feeling and these short Depression and Anxiety Assessment tools, while not an exact science or a substitute for your counseling, will  provide you with clues about your moods and feelings.You may find that the quiz helps to validate your emotions and feelings with a “Yes, I am feeling as bad as I imagined” or “No, I’m not feeling as bad as I thought I was”. Should you pursue counseling, the results of the quiz will be also be helpful to me.
