If you are reading this profile you have come to a point in your life where you have an issue, or issues, which have become unmanageable. Most likely you have tried to find answers for yourself, to no avail. I am able to provide a safe place (and an empathetic atmosphere) that will enable you to explore these issues, understand them, as well as be able to find solutions or discover better ways to manage them.

My techniques include EMDR (most effective treatment for trauma), Gottman couples therapy, EFT for couples and CBT. I can help to navigate through all aspects of divorce. I also offer pet assisted therapy with my certified therapy dog, Gracie.
