  • We Help Couples and Individuals Get Through Tough Life Transitions

    Therapy By Choice has qualified professionals who can help couples or individuals after infidelity, excessive screen use, jealousy, anxious partner, financial stress, communication issues or parenting differences. Together we can come up with a plan to help make a real difference in your life as a couple and individual.

    We specialize in helping couples & individuals learn more effective ways to connect. We also teach couples & individuals what not to do while arguing and study the way you and your partner argue so that we can come up with a personal plan to change those ways!

    Please contact us for a free consultation so that we can explain what to expect in couples therapy and what the next steps are to get started.

    I have two chihuahua-mixes that keep me busy at home, and I find myself absolutely drawn to drama series like Dawson’s Creek and New Amsterdam. I am also a big fan of 80’s and 90’s films!

    “Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you”
    -John C. Maxwell

Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.
