Counseling

As a patient, you deserve to have a kind and compassionate therapist that respects you enough to quickly identify the issue and focus on treating it. We won’t waste your time. We’d rather have lots of patients for a little while each than a few patients each for a long time. Lets get busy in growing and getting healthy!

Talk To Our Experts

Consulting

Psychologists are not just experts in therapy. Although trained in providing therapy we are also experts in psychometrics (how to measure things), statistics, and a variety of other issues.

Evaluation

I want you and your family to have the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. I will only use the best instruments and will provide you with a timely report that addresses each of your questions.

Teletherapy

In this day and age, time is everything. We as individuals have a tendency to juggle way too much in our life, often putting things such as self-care on the back burner. The stresses and anxiety you face on a daily basis can feel overwhelming and depressing at times. Your schedule should not be a barrier to the best help available!
