Counseling and Wellness

"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and joy--the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."

Brene Brown

Welcome!

Thank you so much for taking the time to time to visit Aspire Counseling and Wellness. Life isn't always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. 

You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you. 

We specialize in treating children, teens, individuals, couples and families. Our goal is to help ourd clients identify and explore the issues and conflicts which brought them to therapy, to discover and reconnect to their inherent strengths and resources, and to restore a sense of resiliency as they meet the challenges in their lives.
