Renew Mental Health Counseling

Renew Mental Health Counseling I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in private practice. I love to help people CHANGE! What if I fail? What if I am terrible at it? What if I hate it?

My passion is to walk along side of women, teens and couples through their personal and relational struggles. Change their habits, change their thinking patterns, change their relationships, and ultimately change their life. I know you may be scared of change, many people are; hence the all too often "stagnant and stuck" state that you find yourself in. And this is simply because it feels pretty c

omfortable and familiar in the current state, even if it is pretty miserable, at least you know what to expect. With change, the fear of the unknown kicks in and can paralyze you from making the changes needed to achieve the desired outcome you hope for. What if people look at me differently? What if I make a fool of myself? What if it makes things worse? What if, what if, what if??? The list can go on. Our brain is very good at bringing up "reasons" why we should just stay the way we are. But let me ask you a few questions. Would you like to respond rather than react? Would you like to feel contentment rather than regret? Would you like to feel healthy rather than unhealthy? Would you like to feel accepted rather than rejected? Would you like to feel connected with your spouse instead of feeling isolated from them? I am sure you answered yes to most of those questions, if not all, most people do. Who wouldn't want to feel all of those positive things? The problem is, we often encounter barriers that we need to remove and that takes intentional action on our part to make the changes necessary. But that is where I come in! I am here to help you identify these barriers and make these intentional movements towards change.

Good Friday ✝️

The cross wasn’t the end of the story…
but it was the greatest act of love.

🤍 “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

Today we remember the depth of His love, a love I’ll never fully understand, but because of His love we have hope, healing and redemption. Thank you Jesus 🩷

Emotional flooding isn’t weakness—it’s your nervous system trying to protect you.

But reacting in that state often leads to disconnection instead of understanding.

Learning to pause is one of the most powerful relationship skills you can build.

One of the most beneficial skills we work on in counseling is learning to pause between feeling and reacting.

When emotions run high, our brains often move into protection mode. That can lead us to react quickly in ways that don’t reflect our true intentions.

Learning to slow down, think (reflect) and then respond instead of react can improve communication, reduce conflict, and create more understanding in relationships.

Sometimes the most helpful step is simply taking a breath before speaking.

So very often we take things for granted, we mindlessly go about life and don’t take a moment to think about things or people. Let us not do that today. Memorial Day is purposed to be set aside for us to take that moment to remember those who gave their life for our freedom. Let us never forget that truth!

Happy Easter! May you have a wonderful day celebrating with friends and family.
