May is Mental Health Awareness Month! And we are here to gently remind you that mental health awareness isn’t just about talking. It's also about practicing.

If you need help navigating being fair to yourself as well as to other people, we can help.

Nancy currently has immediate openings for new patients.

Progress in therapy rarely looks dramatic. More often, it’s quieter...noticing patterns sooner, setting a small boundary, or responding to yourself with a little more patience than before. But small shifts matter, and some would even argue that small shifts last longer as well.

“Lazy” is a word many people use to describe themselves when they’re exhausted, stretched thin, or emotionally overloaded. But here's the thing: overwhelm can look like procrastination, shutdown, or low motivation. Not because you don’t care, but because your system has been carrying too much for too long.

Jamie Stacks, LPC-S, has over two decades of experience helping clients who feel stuck in overwhelm find their way out, and into the life they want. Immediate openings.
