Cross-culturally, stacking stones known as Cairns have been constructed to represent physical landmarks.  Symbolically, they signify continuity, balance, peace, and calm.  They mark that you are safe, and point you in the right direction when the path may be unclear. Composure Counseling and Wellness aims to provide the same. Our mission is to offer guidance, peace and a safe place to land as you journey through life; to help you heal.

From the uniquely sensitive, unexpected, or lifelong struggles to your, "Average Joe," white-knuckling, it through lifes' everyday stressors; I am here to help. Utilizing a sense of community, camaraderie, common sense, and the empirically significant my eclectic approach to therapy is meaningful and healing. I welcome all walks of life and every part of you. I encourage you to find relief in embracing both the highlights and shadows of the journey. My individualized and down to earth style has been quoted as refreshing, particularly to those who have, "tried it all and seen therapists before."
