Everyone faces problems - it's part of life. There can be a single stressor or multiple stressors. Sometimes the root of the problem is obvious but often it's not. Most people can deal with life's challenges successfully, but everyone needs help at some point. When problems are not successfully addressed the result can be a mix of negative emotions - anxiety, anger, fear and depression.
When these negative emotions begin to build, people feel as if their life is "out of control." Chances are you already have the tools you need to improve your situation but your negative emotions have gotten you stuck. That's where therapy can help. It starts with a 10 minute phone call to have a brief confidential discussion about your situation.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people navigate through their difficult situations. Everyone's problems are unique and important to them. I work hard to understand my client's individual circumstances and background. If I don't feel I can help you I will work with you to find someone who can.

These are the day-to-day struggles that make people feel sad, lonely, angry and discouraged.
A mentor once taught me that providing hope to someone who is feeling discouraged is one of the most rewarding things a person can do.
After earning a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at the University of Notre Dame, I worked in the business sector for 25 years prior to becoming a therapist.

Losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations can lead a person to feel sad, lonely and scared.
These feelings are normal reactions to life's stressors.
Most people feel low and sad at times.
However, in the case of individuals who are diagnosed with "clinical" depression, the manifestations of the low mood are much more severe, and they tend to persist.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.
In 2015, over 16 million adults aged 18 years or older in the U.S. had experienced at least one major depressive episode in the last year, which represented 6.7 percent of all American adults.

Do you worry about work constantly when you're at home, or feel anxious and tense even about small events?
Do you often fear the worst will happen even though there is little evidence that it will?
Do you lay awake at night worrying about how you are going to be able to deal with your current problems?
These signs and symptoms are common in those suffering from a medical condition called anxiety.
It's important to know you are not alone.

Is there an issue surrounding a lack of faithfulness, money, being a parent, the in-laws, or work?
While we now know that the old myth that "half of all marriages end in divorce" is simply false (the US divorce rate has been falling for decades and current studies estimate it's closer to only ), it doesn't mean marriage is getting any easier.
After all, if we expand this figure to include unhappy de facto relationships and add in the ill-contented twosomes who will never divorce, we can see there are large numbers of seriously annoyed, frustrated, glum people like you who are desperate for a change.

Are there significant underlying issues between your family members that need to be addressed?
Even if you all grew up in the same household, you and your family members can be very different people.
Large age gaps, natural differences in personalities, contrasting values or beliefs, and much more can lead to conflicts at home between loved ones.
And with even more young people continuing to live in their family home after they reach adulthood, more and more families (over 18% of the US population) are now living in "multi-generational" homes.
