I believe that each human has purpose. Life experiences can blur that belief in each of us. My goal is to see that all who come through my doors be reminded of their purpose and be convinced that they can be healthy. My promise is that you will be treated with respect, great care, and be challenged to be the best version of yourself.

Keith Stark, LMFT intern (NV #MI0925)
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from Lincoln Christian University. I have had many years of experience in education, the juvenile justice system, and the non-profit sector. I see individuals, couples, and families and specialize in those with issues relating to anger management and domestic violence. I believe that if you are ever going to plant seeds of change, you have to plant seeds in the family system. Individual change must be desired!
