My vision is to assist individuals, couples, and families in improving their relationships and quality of life. I strive to teach clients skills and techniques to cope with difficult situations they may encounter throughout their lives. I can provide a comfortable environment and an objective perspective. CARE Therapeutic Services offers individual, couples, family, and group counseling to people of all ages. We focus on making necessary and healthy changes now to promote a more positive future. If we cannot help, we will refer to someone who can, so that each client will get the support they deserve.

Maybe you're feeling stuck in your current position, struggle to set healthy boundaries or your burnout level is starting to truly reach maximum capacity. There is no need to continue being so hard on yourself just because you currently have too much on your plate. Let’s work to free you from the paralyzing thoughts constantly racing through your mind or the inner mental criticism that are keeping you from reaching your highest potential & achieving your personal successes & goals.

Life happens...There is no "money back guarantee" on relationships or experiences or even on thoughts or feelings. When things seem "off" or aren't going as they should, we have to figure out ways to adapt or cope with each situation. I hope to help clients build solid foundations in self-acceptance as well as in their relationships with their partners/spouses, children and parents, siblings, and in all avenues of their lives, so that they can adapt to each situation in a most healthy and positive manner. Personal growth is the key to positive change.
