This week marked my last week at Aspen Counseling Services. I have loved my time there and all the amazing counselors, people, and clients I got to meet. However, God has different plans for me and is leading me elsewhere. I'm excited to see what the future holds and while I will be taking a short break my goal continues to be working towards licensure as a professional counselor. I will continue to post on this page with any professional updates :)

The past isn’t your map for what’s possible — it’s your teacher.
If what you’ve tried hasn’t worked, don’t stay stuck in the same cycles.
Stretch. Try again. Choose the unfamiliar path.
That’s where change begins.

🌟 Attention Adoptive Parents! 🌟

We are looking at hosting another support group session for adoptive mom and dads one day in August at Aspen. This is one session only at a $20 fee. We want to try and accommodate a day and time that works best for the majority of those who would like to attend. Once a date/time is selected we will post that. This is to help me get the ball rolling on interest and a potential date. Thank you! 💛

I am open to suggestions but options include:
Saturday August 2nd - morning or afternoon
Thursday August 8th - 5:30-6:30 PM
Friday August 8th - morning or afternoon
Wednesday August 13th - 6:00-7:00 PM

People come and go in our lives and at any age shifting social circles can be very difficult to manage. Remember to take care of yourself and know it's ok to miss people who no longer fit into your life as you grow.

This one’s for anyone who’s dealing with a friend breakup (or any kind of breakup) right now. 💔 The weekends can be harder than weekdays, but know that this feeling won’t last forever. Hopefully some of these ideas will be helpful!

Today marks one whole year at Aspen Counseling Services! 🎉 I've spent the last year learning and growing as a counselor and am looking forward to continuing this journey. It's not always easy but I am so grateful for the family and friends I have surrounding me and supporting my passion. And of course I'm so grateful for my clients whose progress I get to watch makes it all worth it. I know God will continue to bless me and be with me as I continue to work towards licensure as a counselor.

🌿 Seeking Support is Strength 🌿

At Aspen Counseling, we believe that taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.
⁠
Asking for help doesn't mean you're broken — it means you're human. Life can be overwhelming, messy, and hard. Therapy offers a safe space to process, heal, and grow.
⁠
Let’s normalize reaching out. You deserve support, not silence. 💬💛

Positive and helpful self talk is a skill that takes time and practice. When our attitudes are beneficial our mental health improves. Start small and be kind to yourself when it's hard.

Summer is a great time to declutter our spaces and our lives. Feeling organized can help us feel less overwhelmed and more capable of our goals. Our spaces can be a direct reflection of our mental health and well-being. What are some of your favorite ways to stay organized?

It's graduation season! Need a fun gift idea for your graduate? Looking for some helpful, fun, and easy to navigate resources as you head to college or into the adult world? My book recommendations this week include College Hacks by Keith Bradford and I Graduated Now What? An Essential Guide to Adulting and Life Skills By Amanda McLaughlin.

Graduation can be an exciting and stressful time for young adults. Whatever comes next for you it never hurts to be prepared. These books I have found to have beneficial and relevant tips and tricks including some humorous side advice to keep things light. Whether it's advice on how to do taxes, how to cook on a low budget, or how to make friends these books have something to comfort and prepare any graduate :)

One of my favorite things to recommend to clients as they work towards goals is to find a book to read that brings about education and insight into a relatable topic for them.

Reading has always been a hobby of mine and there are so many great books on mental health out there. This week I recommend Boundaries by Dr. Townsend and Dr. Cloud.

Learning healthy boundaries can be a great first step to improving not only your relationships but also your own sense of worth. This book explores what boundaries are, and how to apply them through real life examples and even Bible scripture.

Boundaries are hard and bring up many different kinds of emotions but with the right guidance boundary building skills can be learned in no time!
