Individual Therapy
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and is non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you will feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings, and where you can develop the skills and tools needed to thrive.
Family Counseling
I understand the stress and difficulty given the overwhelming demands that families experience and the stressors that result in our daily lives. I focus on teaching each family member strategies for reducing tensions and conflicts through the use of effective communication skills and problem-solving skills, thereby enhancing family cohesiveness.
Couples/Marriage Counseling
I provide couples counseling focusing on assisting each individual of the relationship to determine the viability of the relationship by using non-judgmental, problem solving and effective communication skills.

Healing takes time. Oftentimes, we have to chip away the walls we’ve built to cope with difficult situations...piece by piece until you get to the root of the issue in order to feel somewhat at peace. Bringing up past trauma isn’t easy but the end result can be rewarding.

Counseling provides an opportunity to understand and resolve the underlying issues that may cause problematic behaviors. It will allow you to discuss your concerns with a non-judgmental, objective listener who can assist in viewing your conflicts differently and developing solutions. Although I will not be able to solve your problems, I will be there to help guide you through the process.
Currently I am only accepting cash, credit or debit cards, or online payments.
