Sometimes our inner critic can be relentless by telling us we aren't good enough, strong enough, smart enough, skinny enough, outgoing enough, attractive enough, likeable enough, etc. That voice can become so common that we don't even question the validity of it anymore. It eventually becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because at some point we begin viewing the world through that lens of never being able to measure up.
We then begin to seek out information that agrees with our inner critic. We can even misinterpret others' comments, gestures or facial expressions so that it aligns with our own doubts about ourselves. I can work with you to help you learn to quiet those negative voices that are always trying to hold you back and make you feel inadequate.

Hi! My name is LuAnn and I am a licensed mental health counselor. I grew up in a small mid-western town and, as a child, I loved hearing about other people's lives. It could have been in the form of an interesting book, a good movie or hearing someone talk personally about their own life. As an adult I still love hearing people's life stories and learning how these stories have contributed to making them who they are today.
Infidelity can rob a relationship of its heart and soul. Some marriages end after the discovery of an affair while others find a way to move forward. I provide confidential counselling for anyone involved in an affair triangle and wondering what to do next. As life becomes more hectic and stressful, drinking becomes more popular, especially as a way to unwind and de-stress.
If you recently found out that your spouse or loved one was having an affair you are probably feeling that your world has collapsed around you. It can seem like all your memories of your happily stable life was a lie. An affair can wipe out your ability to trust your partner but also trust yourself as well.
Did you wake up this morning mad at yourself (again!) for drinking too much the previous night? Did you promise yourself you were only going to have a glass or two of wine but, as usual, you ended up drinking much more than that? Are you wondering how you can exhibit self-control in other areas of your life but you can't control your alcohol consumption?
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you've used before, and for whatever reason, they aren't working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths.
