Who do I work with
I provide individual, couples, and group therapy for adults, adolescents and children 5 and over.

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy consists of one-on-one counseling sessions that can help you enhance your awareness of how your unrealistic or negative beliefs and thinking patterns about yourself and others undermine the quality of your life. These changes in thinking will go hand-in-hand with improvements in your moods, decisions, quality of your relationships, and the quality of your life.

Couples Therapy
Whether you are in a marriage, long-term, or relatively new relationship, couples therapy seeks to improve your relationship to make it closer, stronger, and more likely to endure its inevitable challenges. Changing how you think, speak, and act in your relationship with your life partner can be crucial in improving your quality of life. Couples therapy can help you gain insight into how to make positive changes in your attitudes, expectations, communication, and behavior patterns in your relationship with your spouse or life partner. Couples will learn to communicate more effectively, identify goals with one another, and resolve the important issues of a growing relationship.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is an inspiring and effective option for the positive change in your life that you seek. Groups provide positive, constructive feedback while allowing you to learn how to change life-controlling problems or behaviors. Our safe and confidential group environment can provide you with the support and learning opportunities you need to positively influence your life, job, and relationships.
