I created Associated Counselors of Tidewater 20 years ago with the sole intent to help people in emotional crisis. Couples that are having difficulties in their relationship with communicating and/or connecting on an emotionally intimate level creates a myriad of stressors in life. Learning new, effective communication tools, understanding how to reconnect consistently long-term, and establishing genuine empathy and a deep appreciate and emotional connection for a couple are key components to a loving relationship. In addition, I also work with many clients individually with issues with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Let's be honest, there are times in life that can be difficult. During these times, it is normal to feel sad, anxious, frustrated, or confused. But it is important to know that you do not have to go through these times alone. I would like to offer a listening ear and be a support to process through these experiences. Mohandas Ghandi said, "strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide to not surrender that is strength." I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults in finding their purpose and strength. Let me help you through this progress.
