I bet you stumbled on this page after searching the internet for counselors after months (maaaaybe years?) feeling like something in your life feels just not right …maybe the dishes, and the kids, and the parent you care for, and work (so much work) kept nudging their way to the top of your to-do list until you became an afterthought in your own mind. How can you meet your own needs when you have lost touch with what they are in the first place? …or maybe your overwhelming responsibilities as a provider for your family – as their emotional rock – started weighing on you, after your dedication to your team, as a military service member, got piled on top of it. How can you make time for the life balance you need (and your family’s needs, and your team’s needs) to be there for others, without dishonoring the commitment you made to prioritize the mission first? What do you do when you carry the invisible wound of PTSD with you even when you return home? …or maybe you’re a healthcare worker whose life has been entirely taken over by the demands a managed care environment places on its helping hands (that is your hands). Your sleep schedule is altered, you haven’t had a holiday off in years, and you have gradually become more isolated from your loved ones who work when you have time to rest. How do you serve in a professional role that means so much to you, without burning out in the process? How do you cope with the secondary trauma you experience as a helping professional? I’m so happy you’ve arrived here. I want to welcome you to The Relationship Center where I work to help individuals find their way back to the center of their life, and help couples find their center again, so that you can feel what I like to call at home in your life and in your relationships. Because here’s the thing: the people we love, the professions we serve, the country we honor—we don’t want to separate ourselves from these purposeful, passion-driven parts of our lives. We want to live with them in a state of greater connection. My counseling process is intended to invite connection and safety, in your relationship with yourself, and in your relationships with others.
