Live Well Therapy Group (LWTG) is a counseling practice with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. We strongly believe in the support, confidence and hope a therapeutic relationship can provide. Our empathetic and motivating therapists are dedicated to working with you and your family to help you achieve balance, personal growth and overall well-being
At Live Well Therapy Group, we are devoted to providing individual, personalized, high-quality psychotherapy services to clients of all cultures and backgrounds. Our therapists strive to help you determine areas that could benefit from therapeutic interventions and our goal is to help you recognize your strengths so that you can lead a more fulfilling life.
In addition to helping individuals overcome obstacles and enhance coping strategies, we are also dedicated to helping clients improve interpersonal relationships, create greater self-awareness and work towards positive change.
Whether you are exploring new ideas, going through a rough time, or coping with long standing challenges, therapy can provide both short-term support and long lasting benefits. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, Live Well Therapy Group can help you identify long-standing behavior patterns or perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more effective and meaningful life.
If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, LWTG looks forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Bio
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, families and couples. My expertise lies in the treatment of abuse, adjustment disorders, child behavior problems, depression, family crisis, grief and loss, life transitions, substance abuse and trauma. My goals are to help clients achieve their highest potential, develop healthy coping skills, and live the life that they aspire to.
I have experience with a wide spectrum of populations and issues in the social services field. I have worked with foster care children and their families, adolescents mandated to juvenile detention centers, families and couples.
As a practicing professional, I continue to look to many resources to keep developing my skills and perfect my practice within a broad spectrum of areas. I believe that developing a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of therapy. I offer individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy in a safe environment to help clients improve the quality of their lives and level of functioning.
