Treatment at Connect Counseling is based on assisting individuals in moving from simply surviving their daily lives to engaging by assisting them to connect to self, others and to life.

If you are an adult survivor of childhood abuse, a survivor of adult onset trauma or survivor of military combat trauma, let me help you. If you are too easily startled, have difficulty functioning in crowds, have to be able to see the exits in public spaces or experience nightmares or flashbacks, you may be struggling with trauma. There are treatment modalities that can help and together we can decide what can help you connect to life.
Do you find yourself worrying constantly, consistently trying to prepare for the worst, have difficulty with focus and concentration due to anxiety? Therapy can help you to manage your anxiety so that it is no longer managing you.
Does it feel as if getting out of bed is more an effort than it should be? Do you feel sad most of the time, lonely, experiencing changes in your appetite or sleep? You may be struggling with depression. Therapy can help you to move through the fog and connect to your life.
As a practicing clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience, I have found a great deficit in the general public’s awareness of issues around mental health. It is my goal, through Connect Counseling, to provide a safe space for individuals in the community to gain knowledge, debunk myths and gain tools on ways to address these issues.
You may wonder why your organization would benefit from such training. The fact is that your organization is made up of individual people with their own backgrounds and experiences with mental health related issues. In addition, all of us find stressful moments in our lives wherein having healthy coping mechanisms would be beneficial. With healthier coping mechanisms there may be increased productivity, increased employment satisfaction and decreased unplanned absences.
Connect Counseling understands that organizations have a variety of needs. Current trainings that are available include addressing issues of child sexual abuse awareness, healthy vs. unhealthy sexual behaviors of children and teens, military reintegration, stress management, coping with change and work-based trauma. I am happy to meet with you discuss these and any other mental health topics that you may find are appropriate for the needs of your organization. In addition, I am a certified facilitator of the Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children® program. Pricing for these trainings varies and are available upon request.
