Coffee Haus Counseling, PLLC

Welcome to Coffee Haus Counseling! Thank you for visiting! Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent 27 years in public education as a teacher (mostly in special education and in early childhood), an assistant principal, a consultant and then a program coordinator. I focus on the following issues: Low Self-Worth: You have a bucket from which you give to others. However, it is difficult to meet the needs of others if you feel that your own bucket has a hole in it. Negative messages from others, life stressors, environment, etc. can create a hole in your bucket through which every positive word spoken to us seems to drain out, leaving nothing else to give. I help clients begin the journey of repairing the hole in their bucket so that they can enjoy the positives, build (or re-build) their self-worth and create a foundation from which they can set healthy boundaries with those around them. Christian Counseling: In your mind and heart, you know that you are supposed to be happy, fulfilled, filled with faith and hope and to be able to fulfill your life's vision. However, past and current circumstances, people and environments may have created a challenge in which what is in your mind and heart conflicts with your experiences. This can create hopelessness and a sense of feeling out of control in terms of your ability to fulfill your vision. I help clients re-build their hope and faith by helping them gain a new perspective of past and current situations, conversations, environments and challenges. I help them re-define their story by challenging negative beliefs, focused, brief writing activities between sessions and by using past difficult circumstances to gain valuable information to address future challenges. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): As a teacher, I learned how to help children with ADHD in the classroom and in the school environment. However, ADHD is not just a childhood challenge. It affects work, relationships, self-worth, and practically every other aspect of adulthood. Those with ADHD are often misunderstood by those who do not experience those challenges. ADHD not only affects the person with the symptoms, but with the significant other, as well. Partners can feel frustrated, angry and at their wit's end at times. As a therapist, I help both those with ADHD and partners of those with ADHD by providing psycho-education, challenging long-held negative beliefs about the self or the partner, allowing opportunity for processing negative emotions and by providing accommodations that can help either party cope in healthy ways. NOTE: I do not accept insurance; however, I do accept ComPsych EAP and provide a sliding scale to those who qualify by Open Path Collective standards.
