Overcoming the crossroads of pain, illness, and helplessness to joy, health and hope can be a meaningful and liberating experience. It’s a time to regroup and shift behaviors that don’t work into ones that do work effectively for your life, your dreams and your goals.

Welcome to The Inner Circle (TIC)! As a result of our own challenges in family, personal, and intimate relationships, we as counselors have studied both traditional and non-traditional therapies methods to help you heal from life ‘s challenges and learn to love yourself through the traumatic experiences. Our clinicians use what we have learned from others to assist our clients who come to the Inner Circle.
We have backgrounds in Marriage Family Child Therapy. All clinicians have over fifteen years of practicing psychotherapy with a highly diverse clientele of various racial and cultural backgrounds including men, women, children, and teens. We are Licensed Professional Counselors, Sex Addiction Therapists, and Certified Anger Management Specialists. To assist our clients, we offer a skilled listening ear, deep understanding of human relations, keen intuition/insight, and a love for life.
Yes, we love what we do! We believe in the alchemy of the “old school” and the “new school” using traditional and non-traditional, clinical and non-clinical methods to assist others. We often engage our clients with nonconventional styles of healing i.e. walking therapy, music therapy, and humor. Indeed, laughter is a part of the healing process.
Rather than the exclusive “clinical couch” approach, we believe in using creative methods and clients’ special interests as part of the recovery process. How about creatively incorporating an instrument, music, movement, or a special hobby as part of your therapy session? This makes the process more meaningful, authentic and even enjoyable at times for all involved.
Two of our specialties are couples therapy and relationship addiction. Click here to learn more about common problems of addiction. In today’s society with hyper sexualized media and its over exposure, there is a critical need for professional and non-judgmental support for men, women, and youth who suffer with these conditions. It is an addiction that is on the rise that must be carefully treated like any other unhealthy condition. We also have extensive experience in assisting victims of childhood sexual abuse and trauma.
We are passionate and compassionate to those who suffer “heart” pain. Emotional trauma can be devastating and can cause physical and terminal illness. Regardless if addiction is present or not, helping couples create fulfilling and happy lives is an important mission of my work. Click here for more information on couples sessions and classes.
