PAST Counseling & Wellness provides professional counseling services to adult individuals who feel overwhelmed, overworked, and worried. If you have challenges that are making you feel stuck in your own emotions and thoughts, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) at PAST Counseling and Wellness can help.

The benefits of counseling with a LPC is knowing you have access to someone trained to assist you in building your emotional resources and restoring your confidence and abilities. You can change your negative patterns and begin to replace them with positive feelings and thoughts.

If you are experiencing difficulties with decisions, relationships, thoughts, and/or emotions, counseling services can assist you in moving forward. The therapeutic process can help you take the necessary steps to begin to make the changes you may currently be unable to do alone.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or just a bundle of negative thoughts and emotions, I know it sometimes feels like your life has been turned upside down. I also know...there's freedom from feeling isolated, worried, angry, and fearful.

There's a better quality of life waiting for you. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who is professionally trained with strategies to help you move through the negative emotions so the struggles and challenges do not feel so overwhelming. There's hope. There are solutions so you can live with contentment and happiness again.

I have over 20 years experience in the service field as a caseworker, educator, coordinator/director and private practice counselor. I work exclusively with adult individuals to assist in creating positive change while increasing abilities to enjoy the process of living.
