Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences.

I collaboratively work with you to define, encourage, and assist, in a safe and trusting environment.

Our relationship to ourselves, others and the world are all intimately connected. Few of us walk through life without significant challenges that require us to grow, heal and change.
