"One of the simplest and yet most profound questions I've ever been asked is, "What's your WHY?" In a bat of an eye, I knew my WHY. I truly believe EVERYONE holds the ability to make change. I believe people are over comers and hold the power to break cycles, fight a battle so their children won't have to, discover their purpose, find freedom in forgiveness. I have seen how hard and cruel this world can be, but I have also been privileged to bear witness to radical change. No one is beyond change. No one is beyond healing. Everyone can discover their MEANING, PURPOSE, and JOY. "

"Providing evaluations, behavioral services, and ongoing therapeutic services for individuals and couples. There are no guarantees therapy will give you what you want but it may increase your awareness and understanding. It could help you to adapt to different life problems, relational issues and to make more educated choices. Finding a balance between logic and emotions is critical but learning a way to make reactions to events constructive instead of destructive is essential for promoting growth and development in our life and in our relationships. I am past military and I will always welcome veterans and their families to treatment."

I hope that a personal, caring approach can help you put your life in order. Your immediate concerns and goals are my primary interest."
