Our Services at Lighthouse Consulting

At Lighthouse Counseling, I offer a range of mental health therapy services designed to meet the unique needs of individuals, couples, and families. My approach centers on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which emphasizes collaboration and empowerment. I strongly believe that each person has the ability to resolve the challenges they face—sometimes, it just takes support to uncover the solutions within. Whether you're navigating personal issues, relationship dynamics, or family challenges, I am here to help guide you toward healing and growth.

Why We Chose the Name "Lighthouse Consulting"

The name "Lighthouse Counseling" was chosen to symbolize the essence of what I offer—guidance, support, and direction. Just as sailors rely on lighthouses to safely navigate their journeys, we believe everyone has the inner strength and ability to overcome their challenges. Sometimes, the path can be unclear, but with the right guidance and support, I can help you find your way.

Whether you're seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other life challenge, we are here to help light your way forward. At Lighthouse Consulting, I am committed to helping you navigate through life’s storms and reach a place of peace and fulfillment.

Symbolism & Metaphor:

Lighthouses have also come to represent more than just a navigational tool. They are often seen as symbols of guidance, hope, and resilience. For many, a lighthouse signifies a steady source of light and direction amidst the stormy seas of life. Just as sailors rely on the lighthouse to navigate treacherous waters, individuals in challenging situations can also rely on professional guidance to help them find clarity and direction in their lives.

At Lighthouse Counseling, I draw inspiration from the metaphor of the lighthouse. Just as a lighthouse provides clarity and guidance to those lost at sea, our approach to therapy helps you find your way through difficult times. Whether you’re dealing with relationship struggles, mental health challenges, or personal growth issues, we are here to illuminate the path forward and support you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
