My therapeutic approach is integrated to include psychotherapy, CBT, solution focused, person-centered, strength based, multi-cultural, family systems, and Humanistic therapy. Each tool and technique are tailored to meet the needs of the client with the intent of leading a life of fulfillment."

REDEFINING MENTAL HEALTH

CLIENT TESTIMONIES

Anonymous 

"Initially I was very nervous about starting therapy and was worried that it would take me a while to open up and feel comfortable being vulnerable with a therapist. However, [Lighthouse] made me feel comfortable from our very first session. Early on I had issues with my insurance which I thought would result in me no longer being able to afford therapy but [Lighthouse] was able to offer other affordable options so I could continue my biweekly sessions. I have been under [their] care for a few months and I can already see improvements in how I feel, how I maneuver through daily challenges and how many unhealthy coping mechanisms and habits I have been able to replace with healthier ones. I have been able to apply my therapeutic homework to create daily routines that have improved my overall quality of life. [The therapist] has supported, encouraged and challenged me continuously. [Their] attention to detail and commitment to both my challenges and my victory's has been amazing. I highly recommend [Lighthouse] to anyone seeking therapy."
