About John Edwards

Welcome.  Are you stressed, depressed, unhappy or experiencing lots of emotional problems? Do you want a different quality of life but can't figure out how to make that happen? Would you like to create positive and meaningful changes in your life? I provide counseling that helps you to transform your life.  Gain clarity regarding your problems and begin to heal and recover from past or recent traumatic or negative events.  Start to create the life you want.

Transform your life out of the clutches of:
ADDICTIONS
ANXIETY
DEPRESSION
EATING DISORDERS
MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS

Individual Counseling with me can help you to:

A) Create amazing relationships.
B) Develop effective coping and distress tolerance skills.
C) Heal from emotional pain and traumatic experiences.
D) Learn to love you without shame and guilt.
E) Think of your problems in new and different ways.

Marriage and Relationship Counseling
Having the same argument over and over?  Want to recover from an affair or other negative experiences?  Acquire research based skills and tools to become a master at communication. I am a Certified Gottman Method Couples' Therapist who helps couples strengthen, repair and rejuvenate their marriage or relationship. Become a master of your relationship rather than a disaster of your relationship.

My counseling style is direct yet caring, compassionate, friendly and tailored to your specific needs.
