The clients that I collaborate most effectively with are those who are in a place of thoughtful contemplation-curious about their lives, their symptoms, their struggles and successes, and the impact of their decision making on their everyday experience. Through both traditional "information gathering" assessment and innovative "collaborative/ therapeutic assessment," together we can begin to better understand you within the context of your life experiences, cultural affiliation, and familial background and history, and set the stage for growth. My goal is to make our assessment a positive and useful experience, and to help you create positive therapeutic changes in your life.

I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. My approach to therapy is direct, collaborative, and goal-oriented. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed.

Welcome. Couples. Individuals. Families. We can all be overwhelmed by a major life change like retirement, marriage or divorce, welcoming a new child, or becoming empty nesters. Sometimes, we find that even the best-made plans are upended by sudden changes in health, work status, relationship status or the death of a loved one.

I have been in private practice for the last 15 years. I work with individuals. Most of my clients are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or all three. Typically they are making their way through a major upheaval in their lives, such as divorce, tragic loss, job stress, severe communication problems, and strained family relationships. They're often depressed, angry, confused, or anxious. My work with couples and families is for the most part communication therapy. I never stop being amazed when clients explain to me that for the first time they're feeling heard, really heard, by their partners, children, or parents.

You wake up one day, and you feel that life isn't as fulfilling as it once was, you go through the motions, use the same expressions to hide from the people you care about that something isn't right. Exploring the self, and gaining a deeper understanding of what brings fullfillment is a road to better enjoying life that you don't have to find alone.

Hi there, my name is David Flores. I am a first-generation graduate student with a Hispanic-immigrant background. I began my own mental health journey during early adulthood when I started working with my own therapist.
I have navigated the difficult road of talking about my own mental health struggles while growing up in a Hispanic household. It is widely known there is an unwritten rule that says men are not supposed to feel depressed or anxious, much less express it. Having someone to talk to during the lowest ebb of my life proved extremely beneficial for me. It was then that I developed a deep interest in mental health issues

Keith McGowen Jr LMFT Owner Divine Marriage- Therapy from the heart. Feel like you’re having the same argument over & over, & nothing is changing, you’re not alone. Most couples don’t have a communication problem—they’re stuck in patterns that keep repeating. My work is especially helpful for couples who feel like they’ve tried everything—but still feel stuck. Whether that looks like constant conflict, emotional distance, or feeling like you’re no longer on the same team. Many of the couples I work with have already tried “talking it out,” reading advice, or making temporary changes, but still find themselves back in the same place.
