Thank you for considering me as a resource at this time in your life. I specialize in individual counseling, couples counseling, teen counseling, and marriage counseling. You may have found yourself at this site because you are looking for ways to improve your relationship or marriage, or you may be looking for ways to reconnect, or you might be considering making a change in your life. If anger, depression, or anxiety is impacting your life, you will gain insight and learn new and more productive ways to cope with and manage your emotions. Counseling can also help you with improving your communication and listening skills, improving your self-esteem, and boosting your self-confidence. During our work together you will discover and nurture your strengths, challenge your beliefs or behaviors that are no longer helpful, gain awareness and empowerment, and resolve experiences that could be causing you pain or are holding you back. In a comfortable, serene, and supportive atmosphere, I offer an individualized approach tailored to meet your specific needs to help you reach your full potential so you may experience the satisfying life you desire. If you are interested in pre-marital, marriage, or couples counseling, I utilize the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, which is based on the research by Dr. John Gottman that began in the 1970's and continues to this day. From this research, a method of therapy was created that emphasizes a "nuts-and-bolts" approach to improving your relationship. This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflicts, you will be given methods to manage problems and gridlocked (or perpetual) issues. We will work together to help you appreciate your relationship's strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.

We are dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. In difficult times a professional counselor or psychologist can give the necessary advice and perspective to provide relief from job stress, relationship difficulties, and even serious mental health problems. Counselors are trained to listen well, provide sound advice, and recommend the best treatment or course of action to help patients get through traumatic events and rough patches in life. We have 8 therapists including psychologists, and counselors. We provide individual psychotherapy, group counseling, and psycho-education for clients of all ages. Emphasis on short-term treatment to help individuals and families to manage their problems and live in the community. This includes individual therapy/counseling, family therapy/counseling, group therapy, assessment, and crisis intervention. Areas of concern can include depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship stressors, employment challenges, and past traumas. Working individually with a therapist can help you feel comfortable enough to talk openly about things in your life that are distressing or are interfering with your everyday activities. Family and couples counseling allows multiple parties to speak together with a licensed professional to identify common areas of conflict and pain and then move forward to a healthy relationship where all parties feel more success in working together.
