Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.

CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.

Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?

If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. My practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.

While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.

EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Therapists often use eye movements to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement or REM sleep, and this portion of sleep is frequently considered to be the time when the mind processes the recent events in the person’s life.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect.

Whether you're navigating a divorce, career change, job loss, retirement, empty nest, chronic illness, relationship challenges, relocation, or the loss of a loved one, major life changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and emotionally exhausted.

Even positive transitions can bring unexpected stress. A promotion, marriage, becoming a parent, or reaching a long-awaited goal can create new pressures and emotions that are difficult to navigate alone.

During times of transition, it's common to feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or unsure about your next steps. You may find yourself questioning your identity, struggling with difficult emotions, or having trouble adjusting to a new chapter in your life.

At Journey Counseling & Wellness Services, we provide a supportive space to process change, explore your strengths, and develop practical strategies for moving forward with confidence. Together, we'll work to help you navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and create a path that aligns with your values and goals.

You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Support is available, and meaningful growth is possible even during difficult seasons of change.

I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.

I understand the social stigmas that come with label of being depressed, and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives.

Have you lost much of the joy you once felt? Are you struggling in an abusive or toxic relationship? Have years of living with low self-worth resulting in a less-than-desirable life?

Throughout the ages, women have been called “the fairer sex.” And yet, were you to ask women about their life experiences, many would admit their life’s events haven’t always seemed so fair.
