Problem talk creates problems, Solution talk creates solutions. - S. de Shazer

Whether you're struggling with marital dissatisfaction, overcome by fear of failure and rejection, or was unfaithful or dealing with unfaithful partner, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Each person is a unique individual. Hence, psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual's needs, rather than tailoring the person to fit the Procrustean bed of a hypothetical theory of human behavior. - M. H. Erickson

I understand no two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address those issues with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you've always wanted. If you're ready to work towards the life you've always wanted, I'm ready when you are. Contact me today and let's get to work.

We know what we are but know not what we may be. - Shakespeare

The following information will help you learn About Me and How I Can Help.

I have always had a passion for helping people become more today than yesterday and be transformed by the renewing of the mind. I will have the same passion for helping you. One of my specialties is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and is very useful in most people understand what is happening to them and make the necessary adjustments to resolve challenging life concerns. When human beings experience severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel in certain arenas. My greatest desire is bringing healing to you when going through a difficult valley. I help individuals and couples rediscover a healthier view of self and strengthen their relationships.
