I work with couples and families in transition or crisis so that they can stabilize and establish new, healthy norms. I believe everyone is the expert in his or her own life. I will respect your life experiences and help you and your family through this challenging leg of your journey.

I work from a person-centered approach that draws from other theoretical techniques designed to address your individual needs and goals.

Our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative and we will work together towards setting and meeting your counseling goals.

You can find healing and change. Your life and your relationships can be restored. Call or send an e-mail for your free consult so we can get you started working toward the changes that you want.
