A decision to begin therapy is a decision for learning and change. I believe learning and change take place in relationships that are forward looking, genuine, safe, and trusting.

Marriage or couples counseling is my specialty. My sole purpose is to help couples stay together. I help people create a strong foundation of trust, respect and commitment in their relationships. As clients rebuild this foundation they learn how to better express their love for each other. Couples will improve their communication skills with rational decision making, as opposed to destructive fighting. Couples must become more deliberate in their approach to each other by prioritizing their energy and time for each other. Treatment averages between 10 to 20 sessions over 6 months. When both individuals engage, the therapy is very successful.
