…. Apricus is Latin for “full of sunshine.”
One meaning associated with Apricus is to bring to light. Coming from a strengths-based perspective, I wanted a name for my practice that would lay a foundation for why I want to do private practice in the first place. While we may have to go through some dark valleys, I believe that by bringing things to light that we can get to the place that is full of sunshine.
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

Why Therapy?

The simple answer is….
because we have a whole lot of junk thrown at us throughout the day. Visually, verbally, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And, sometimes we just need a little bit of help processing the overwhelming amount of input we receive over the course of a day, week, month, or year. Fight, flight, and freeze is a real thing that, at the moment, does not give us time and space to process information. Counseling, therapy, coaching, and mentoring are a few ways in which you can talk about and process feelings and emotions in a safe space. There’s no judgment here, so let’s chat.
