Individual Psychotherapy - Ask yourself if you have issues that are interfering with the quality of your life. If so, psychotherapy might be helpful. After nearly 41 years, I still provide individual sessions to help resolve conflicts that still linger and keep you stuck.

Marriage/Couple Therapy - If your marriage or relationship is suffering and causing chronic conflict between you and your partner, perhaps it’s time to seek out some professional help. It’s hard to mend a broken arm yourself. It takes a professional. It’s just as difficult to mend a broken heart or relationship. It too requires professional help.
