Are you dealing with grief, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship problems, sexual dysfunction, or marital issues, such as unsettled disagreements, infidelity, or divorce? Maybe that spark seems to be missing. Have you tried therapy before, and it seemed not to work? Well, you need a therapist that you can connect with. Therapy success, in part, depends upon the relationship with your therapist. You need a therapist who specializes in the area of your concern. If you would like someone well-equipped to help you navigate life and you are willing to work for the change you need, I look forward to hearing from you.

I have enjoyed providing support in mental health for over 20 years now. We all face moments of distress and experience unplanned circumstances in our lives that we simply are not prepared for. It can be difficult to navigate our way through all of the thoughts that may come up or the different levels of pain we tend to experience. I know that reaching out for help can be challenging. We all have our own healing journeys and I am grateful to be able to help individuals with discovering their own path to healing, growth and change.

Our mission is to provide high-quality therapy to individuals, couples, and families, helping them address a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. We offer specialized services such as Family Counseling, Premarital/Marital Counseling, Anxiety, and Depression. All are designed to meet the unique needs of our clients and ensure satisfaction.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life start with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I believe the best way to find you again, is to find your voice.

“Life can and will have its challenges. The way we cope with these challenges can be our greatest gift if we equip ourselves with the mindset that we have already conquered them.” Seeking support is commendable and shows that you are on your way to making positive changes in your life. I am excited to help you on and through your journey of healing and wholeness.
