Life is messy. Talking about it helps. Circumstances in life can cause us to lose sight of ourselves and who we are called to be. Depression and anxiety can creep in or hit us all at once. Trauma can leave lasting wounds. Grief happens and there is no timeline for healing. Relationships can become complicated and confusing. Together we can figure out why you can’t escape from negative thought patterns, where your lack of self-confidence comes from, what’s at the root of your anxious feelings and worry, find freedom from the need to be perfect, process trauma from past experiences, find relief from depression, and more. Individual counseling can help you gain more understanding of yourself and your circumstances and can help you reclaim your identity in Christ. 

Marital Counseling focuses on strengthening and repairing the marriage in line with Catholic/Christian teachings and research-based treatment modalities. All marriages experience difficult situations that affect the marriage relationship. Marriage counseling works to identify family of origin issues, past hurts, and external factors that affect the relationship, as well as build skills that will repair and strengthen the relationship between spouses.

Premarital preparation focuses on helping couples identify issues, habits, or topics that affect their relationship. These are identified with premarital inventories i.e., FOCCUS, Fully Alive, or Prepare and Enrich. The counselor reviews the results with the couple and provides recommendations and a treatment plan tailored to the couple. Premarital preparation helps couples be preventative to the stressors of life, empowering them before they are married. 

Families are like the gears in a watch. Everyone functions differently. Family counseling focuses on addressing behaviors and patterns so the family relationship can be strengthened.
