Are you seeking therapy services for your child as the new school year approaches? I currently have openings for children, adolescents, and adults at my practice. Now is an excellent time to start a relationship with a therapist for your child before the stress of school starts to build up. Heading back to school can bring up a mix of emotions for children, from excitement to anxiety. It's crucial to address any concerns or challenges your child may be facing, and I am here to help support them through this transition.

A counselor does not have all of the answers. A counselor aids their client's in discovering their own solutions. Despite life's chaos, stress, and unknowns, there is strength in asking for help. Hello, I'm Bailey, and I enjoy supporting individuals from their teenage years onward, guiding people through life changes, coming-of-age issues, and navigating life's stressors. With a compassionate approach, I strive to create a supportive and empowering space for personal growth. I may not have all the answers, but I will hold the light as we embark on the path of healing together.

Anxiety is like a fingerprint. Each person is unique. Some people worry a lot about a bunch of things, others have obsessive or sticky thoughts about certain things, and some people fear very specific things like flying or social embarrassment. Others may struggle with body or somatic concerns - like fear of cancer or fear that if they stop monitoring their breath they may stop breathing. Some people fear losing people while others fear being around people! Frankly, fear and anxiety are so personal. Aspects of effective counseling are going to be different, depending on your anxiety patterns.

In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the United States is impacted by depression or anxiety. Are you walking through life alone? I strive to see, hear, understand, and empower you to reach your desires and capacity while navigating the challenges and seasons of life. Are you wired and tired, albeit parenting, relationally, occupationally, or perhaps you are grieving the loss of health or a loved one, or life has taken a turn you aren't prepared for? Addictions can be seductive, cunning, and baffling and result in a gradual erosion of what matters. You are worthy of a gentler, softer way through life that I will guide you through.

Do you often feel overwhelmed with decisions in life? Does thinking about your future cause anxiety and worry? I understand that anxiety can often go unnoticed or unaddressed among teens and young adults because it’s not always easy to recognize or talk about. This period can be filled with relationship stress, school and work overload as well as choices that can shape who you are becoming. This can make it challenging to cope and may leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where to turn for support.

I specialize in children and adolescent therapy for young people aged 6 to 17 years old. My focus is helping children, pre-teens, and teens understand themselves in this BIG world. The caregivers I work with have all sorts of questions such as: “why does my child act this way?”, or “why do they react like this?”. Maybe feeling stuck or like a “bad parent”. Some children may experience events and/or ongoing hardships in their lives that impact their ability to cope. My mission is to help kiddos and families move forward in life with a sense of safety, connection, and empowerment to live a fulfilled life.

If you are feeling stuck, ever found yourself telling others you feel "stuck," feel like you have tried therapy before, and nothing helped. If you have gone through a major life event: moved, relocated, had a baby, got married, in and out of relationships, struggling to communicate at work, school, or home. If you are realizing that old stuff from your past has surfaced, is starting to surface, and it's harder and harder to keep it all inside and feel tense inside. If you have realized you don't want your children to experience or be raised the way you have been.

Greetings! I've been a licensed professional counselor for 30 years and I provide a holistic approach to counseling. I believe we are souls having human experiences and to achieve balance and coherence we must address the energetic and spiritual aspects of ourselves in addition to the physical, mental, and emotional. I use cognitive somatic energy practices to shift the stuck energy that can lead to physical, mental, and emotional dis-ease and I offer a listening program designed to re-tune the nervous system.
