Romantic relationships are wonderful when you're feeling conncected & valued by your partner.

 

However, when there is 

Distance, Lack of Trust, Resentment, Anger,

Fortunately, Marriage Counseling & Couples Therapy can help, even if both parties don't attend or wish to participate.

Studies show the earlier you start couples therapy, the better chance you have of improving your relationship!

Families come in many shapes and sizes…and can be a wonderful source of support, stability & love.  However,

EVERY FAMILY FACES UNIQUE CHALLENGES

It's important to know, when one member is struggling…the whole family is impacted.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy focuses on exploring & developing a better understanding of your:

​

  • Thoughts

  • Feelings

  • Reactions

  • Relationships

  • Goals

  • Strengths & Needs

 

You will be able to discover what motivates you as well as identifying patterns that may be holding you back.

 

Although change can be difficult, growth requires taking risks...why not take a risk on yourself and see what you can create in your life?

 

If nothing changes.....nothing changes!

Online Therapy & Virtual Counseling available!

Online Counseling, Video

&

Virtual Therapy

In a 21st-century digital world, virtual therapy is becoming the "new normal" when it comes to counseling. The great thing about online therapy is that it allows for more flexible and in the moment scheduling options. If you are a visual learner you can schedule a video session or if you are more of an auditory learner you can schedule a phone session. Virtual therapy is an effective alternative mode of counseling.

​

I provide online therapy for Couples Counseling, Individual Therapy, & Family Therapy

 

If interested or curious, why not give it a try...you never know...it may be a great fit for you!
