Your marriage can only be as healthy as the two people in it, so whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating the complexities of love and partnership, we offer a space for empowerment and renewal. Our integrative counseling approach will foster emotional insight, self-worth, and mental resilience — helping you and your partner thrive both individually and together.
At Take Courage Counseling, LLC, I provide counseling services for individuals and couples. As a bilingual Christian counselor, I work with individuals wishing to incorporate their faith as part of their therapy journey. I am also a trained S.Y.M.B.I.S. Premarital Facilitator, and a knowledgeable counselor in Gottman Connect relationship tools.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, Christian Counseling, and Strength-Based focus. Multicultural Counseling requires the sensitivity of listening to peoples stories from the perspective of their world view. During treatment I focus on past influences impacting your thoughts today, and assist clients in developing insight and understanding to their behaviors.
