As a licensed mental health counselor I specialize in multicultural counseling, individual therapy treating disorders such as substance abuse, personality disorders, anxiety, phobias, trauma and couples counseling. As we move into a new and different world I imagine it can be hard for some of us to develop new coping skills to manage living in this new world. I am here to help navigate and guide you and your loved ones through these difficult times. I also provide home visits for the elderly who just can't leave their home yet still need someone to talk. More details will be provided during the intake.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
