Family Therapy in Central City, Phoenix, AZ

As you search for a solution to the problem you are facing, you may feel that you are in the dark. My goal as a therapist is to help you find your eyes in the dark. Together we will seek to identify the problem and help you to stand against it. We will evaluate your unique story and work to rewrite it towards the preferred outcome that you will define. My unique perspective as a counselor with a visual impairment qualifies me to provide a view of the problem that is different than most counselors.

I offer online counseling for those who need convenience and flexibility. Life can be very challenging, painful, and confusing. Sometimes even more than we feel we can manage alone.

We all have the raw materials for an authentic life but sometimes we need help figuring out what that means for us.
