If you or your child/teenager are feeling like there has to be another option other than “just getting through the day,” I’m here to remind you there are ways to feel better.
Life gets heavy. There is no way around it. Even the most evolved, positive, balanced people get stuck sometimes. There is no reason why we need to feel stuck by ourselves. Therapy can be the gift we give ourselves to get through the times when things feel hopeless. It also doesn’t need to be used only when we hit rock bottom. Therapy can be used as a way to continue growing through challenging life changes, navigating relationships, and help you learn more about yourself.

My wife and I have experienced the loss of 4 children in utero and have also gained 3 children through the experience of foster care and adoption; Having been a Christian pastor for 25 years, I enjoy thinking through spiritual matters with people.
It's hard for most people to ask for help. I get that. But I am of the belief that there are two categories of people: those who could be helped by therapy and those who actually go out and try it. So, if you are stepping out, asking for help, and giving therapy a try - good for you for taking a risk. My goal right off the bat is to build trust with my clients. Regardless of the issue at hand, I believe the most important and powerful tool is to have a trusted relationship in your corner.
