About
Finally!! Be heard, affirmed, supported, and empowered.
I endeavor to foster a supportive environment which understands that families and those in relationships sometimes get into difficulties due to their differences, or feel the strain when loved ones have troubles.
The aim of therapy is to work on these problems by encouraging individuals, family members and loved ones to help and empathize with each other.
I work with Couples in intimate relationships & Adults in crisis to nurture change and enhance connection. It is my ultimate desire to assist in the growth and development of those persons seeking positive change in their life experience and situation.
Providing a safe place for healing and healthy connection.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before coming in for your first session please register through our HIPAA compliant secure client portal, and complete both the required forms, and any other assessments you are comfortable completing.
The more information I have the better prepared I am to assist you from our first visit. You can also download the forms through the client portal or they can be sent to you via USPS mail or email.
When you arrive to the first session we will discuss your reasons for coming in. When this session is complete we will all decide how to proceed, what areas to address going forward.
Generally, the first 3 – 4 sessions are used to establish a plan of treatment. When providing couple or family therapy I may meet individually with each member of the family to solicit feedback and finalize plans for treatment. At this point services are implemented to address the identified challenges.
The length of treatment can vary, its specified to your needs. My objective is to assist you through talk-therapy, education, intervention, and practical application on your part to resolve the problem or challenge, and that you have more insight into the factors that contributed to the problem. Treatment ends when you feel change has occurred and you have the tools and support system(s) to sustain that change.
