I work with individuals and couples who want to actively create the lives or relationships they desire. By helping clients identify the blocks keeping them stuck, they are free to explore and experiment with more creative and effective ways of living. Group counseling can be especially helpful increasing self-awareness, creating support and experiencing validation.

I have a passion for helping clients create and strengthen meaningful relationships in their lives, whether it be with their partner, family member or their self. I enjoy working with couples, families and individuals and helping them identify and change hurtful, negative patterns and create more effective, healthy ones. Healing and change happen within ourselves and through relationships when we feel secure and loved. I strive to help couples, in families develop and strengthen those bonds and create positive interactions.

With over 30 years experience in individual and couple psychotherapy, I learned to tailor my treatment to the SPECIFIC needs of each person or couple. I help patients identify dynamics that hold them back and keep them isolated and unfulfilled. With couples, I identify deep core issues that maintain disconnection and conflict, leading to improved understanding, empathy and renewed love for each other. Changes brought about by this treatment are not meant to be temporary but long lasting as people learn skills and make use of tools that will continue to be available to them well after treatment is over.
