I offer a free 15-minute, phone consultation because finding the right therapist is just as important as your therapy itself. Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Are you feeling there is something wrong with you or that you're not enough. Do you struggle knowing what you want? Put an end to lifelong patterns and become who you were meant to be. Couples: Are feeling like you don't matter? Like you can't get it right with each other? Do you want to communicate better? If you're ready to move past old patterns and have a deeper connection, reach out. I've helped hundreds of couples feel connected again, or for the 1st time.

Sometimes life stressors become more challenging than you can handle on your own and you might need extra support to work through these difficult times. When issues and conflicts are left unresolved, they lead you to feeling overwhelmed and spiral into a state of crisis. Mental health counseling empowers you to view yourself from a perspective that is more open to positive changes. The goal of therapy is to facilitate healthy communication and improve the relationships and functioning of the individual.
