Couples in relationship distress

  • Are you in a struggling relationship? 
  • Having communication challenges?
  • Do you know the strengths in your relationship?
  • What could use improvement?

Research reveals that successful marriages promote mental, physical and family health.  Let’s work together to develop those areas of your relationship that are not in harmony. 

Pre-marital counseling

  • Are you considering getting married? 
  • Are you interested in improving the odds of having a long and healthy marriage?
  • Are you in a mixed heritage relationship?

Couples marrying for the first time in the U.S. face a 40-50% chance of divorce during the first 10 years.  Let’s discuss the tough stuff that love may be blinding you to now, so that it doesn’t become a blockade to your marital longevity.  The more you know and discuss prior to marriage, the less disillusion will await you.  We have fun interactive ways to get to the challenges that may come your way.

Self-esteem challenges

  • Are you looking to make some changes in your life? 
  • Do you find yourself doubting your abilities? 

Let’s work together to make you the conductor of your life symphony.

Depression

Depression is a serious mental health condition affecting the lives of many people.  Do you find yourself feeling sad more often than not? 

Don’t let depression keep you down in the dumps.  Help is available and comes in many different forms.  Let’s find what works best for you and leave depression in the dumps, while you step out singing a different tune.

Anxiety/Phobias

  • Are you anxious?
  • Do you have panic attacks and are not sure why?
  • Are you avoiding certain activities and depriving yourself of experiences due to anxiety or fear?

I work to assist you in overcoming fears and anxiety which often lead to panic attacks.  Let’s talk about how you can live the life you want to live, free of anxiety and phobias.

Family conflicts

  • Are your family conflicts a source of stress and duress? 

Sometimes we are not aware or don’t want to admit the influences our families have with us.  Rather than attempting to avoid family members, why not work to enhance the relationship to bring the family in harmony with one another.
