Are you hurting, feeling tired, lost or stuck, or perhaps struggling with a personal issue or in your relationship? With compassion, hope and inspiration, I want to help guide you in overcoming past and current issues to make your future happier and healthier.

Marriage can push us to the limit. Connection and friendship is the foundation of a happy marriage, however, connection is easier said than done. Couples easily get stuck in repeating the same arguments that never seem to go anywhere. Pain from the past, depression or anxiety, disappointment, and broken relationships often hold us captive and keep us from connecting with the ones we love. I work with my clients to break these destructive cycles and help them learn to love others and themselves well. Don’t settle for the status quo. Let me help you and your spouse unlock the emotional connection you have always wanted.

I have 38 years experience counseling people with relationship issues; couples with family and marital problems; parents needing help with teens; straight and gay/lesbian couples wanting a healthier relationship. Relationship problems trigger issues like low self esteem,depression, and anxiety. I believe that most unhappiness stems from one or more problem relationships. My ideal client is tired of others trying to control or change them through behaviors like criticism, nagging, threatening, blaming, and complaining. And, my ideal client is one who wants to stop using these same behaviors that are harmful to their relationships.
