"Marital and family relationships are often the source of our greatest joys, fears, pain, hopes, and aspirations. These relationships also have tremendous power to create meaningful and lasting positive change.

Successful therapy effectively shifts the communication, roles, and relationships with those who matter most in your life."

"I know that first step toward change is the hardest. You are looking for someone who understands your experience and can help you to look within to find answers to questions you may not even know you have. It can be difficult to know what we are looking for in therapy, when we don't yet know what we need. I understand that your struggles are real and difficult, but you also have the strengths necessary to overcome them. My goal is to support you through that process as we navigate this path together, finding solutions within your own strengths."

"Seeking therapy can feel scary, but I believe it is a courageous and empowering step. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy and that therapy can be a means for personal growth.

I believe that some of the difficulties we have with others is rooted in the learned relationships we have with our family members."
