A personal, face-to-face encounter with a therapist can help you figure out what is happening in your life and give you tools to get you headed back in the right direction. Whether you're struggling with a relationship, work-family life out of balance, or feeling depressed and anxious, therapy can be a brief solution to help you get back to being at your best. In your first visit with me, we'll get to know each other and start defining the problem. Later, I'll give you some specialized assessments, and then we will create goals together and begin the process of fixing the problem.

Our society is extremely unforgiving & relentless. I see men struggle to be men. They fear being labeled oppressive. I see women struggle to incorporate positive influences into their lives. They struggle to see themselves for how amazing they are. Some families strive to get along with one another, yet they never seem to know how to communicate with their spouses or children. Help is needed to overcome the world's challenges, whether spiritual or other situational struggles. Family members seek help to mend broken relationships in the home or with extended family
