Struggling?

Depression & Anxiety

"Depression" has become a more common word as of late. Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Untreated, these symptoms can be debilitating and can have severe or irreparable consequences. Get Help! There is no need to feel embarrassed. It is only wrong NOT to do something.

Trauma & PTSD

Depression & Anxiety

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. You don't need to suffer any longer. Allow me to help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Relationships

Depression & Anxiety

Relationships

Maybe your relationship is needing a tune-up. Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both persons and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.
