You've come here looking for change, and you already carry the strength and ability to do it. Our focus in therapy will be to start from the ground up, because strong foundations make rock steady lives, & identifying structures/behaviors/patterns is a great way to focus on personal development & goals. Together, we will work to identify your symptoms & overcome the obstacles in your way. Sometimes an outsider's perspective can be exactly what you need- someone whose opinion you can trust to be objective.
We'd love to help you feel better! You may notice a difference after only a few sessions, or it may take more in-depth work. Either way, we are here to help you navigate through the twists and turns of life. Give us a call and tell us your story, and we'll work with you to make it better. You don't always need to make drastic changes to improve yourself.
Hours: Monday-Wednesday (hours vary– some weekend appointments) call for availability. LMHC/LMSW accepts Aetna, BCBS, Presbyterian, Molina and Western Skies, and all Medicaid plans. (clinical who is currently being supervised ) Habla Español.
