Accepting new patients for April 1, 2026. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with the knowledge and expertise you deserve to help you become the best version of yourself. Life can be difficult at times; I understand this. I have been working with individuals, couples and families for 20+ years. My approach is warm, inviting, and one sprinkled with hope. My life passion and vocation are sitting with those who need guidance, empathy, and compassion. Please know that I am here to assist you with the utmost respect for your current situation and your emerging emotions.
I help individuals, couples and families work through life transitions that cause stress and tension in their relationships. I have experience working with a variety of issues such as: parenting, single parenting, communication difficulties, stress, anxiety, as well as individuals who might have difficulty setting and maintaining healthy boundaries.
I am well-versed in working with couples who are struggling with trust, intimacy, infidelity and uncertainty about their relationship. I roll up my sleeves and work to help repair, heal, and restore those relationships. And, if in some instances a couple chooses to separate; I am skilled at guiding you through the uncoupling process with respect and dignity.

A typical first visit consists of us sitting together and learning about what you would like to see different in your life and or your relationships as a result of our time together. We delve deeply into the issues at hand and then develop a plan simultaneously that is tailored specifically for you. Most see a gradual relief of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
