If you are facing any of these stressors, if you are a survivor of/or witness to trauma, treatment can help. Through cognitive therapy, my clients have learned to overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD.

Family/couples counseling is also available, as well as treatment for psychosis.

Often, we want a redo with where we came from but God wants to start the process of healing with you in order to not continue the generational sin, and pain. This is why I became a counselor.

In my professional work I have learned to empathize deeply and to make observations and interpretations based on years of accumulated clinical knowledge and experience. While my professional training has been invaluable, my clients (and my colleagues, too) have been the most extraordinary teachers of life and healing. Through my work I have learned to be more open and compassionate and more fully human. This enables me to be a more effective facilitator in the healing process of psychotherapy. It is always a privilege to do emotional healing work with another human being--both of us are enriched.

Waitlist only at this time. Whether you are experiencing situational stressors that have come to a head or long-term mental health issues, I see patients that are students, parents, and young or seasoned professionals that are seeking professional treatment.

I am committed to working with individuals who want to more fully understand themselves and the origins of their personal unhappiness, distress and suffering, their inability to connect more deeply with others and have successful relationships, their struggles in work, and even their inabilities in having fun! The development of a collaborative relationship between you and your therapist is central in any successful therapy, but especially when doing in-depth therapy, where we will be working towards helping you achieve a deeper awareness of the formative experiences of your life, not only intellectually, but also emotionally.
