The couples I work with are on the brink of a change in their relationship. They seek me out to help them decide on the change they want, and we work together toward their future vision. Couples often choose therapy to change course from their current situation to a more hopeful life-giving direction. The individual clients I work with range from those who experience betrayal, shame, abuse, and guilt, and need a steady approach to navigating treacherous times to gradually find stability to build their life on. Others seek clarity, strategies and feedback so that they can achieve their personal, professional and dream goals.
My specialty is collaborating with my clients to identify the best-fit therapy I can provide, drawing on my extensive experience and development in both couple and individual therapy. I promise an engaged, interactive, and pragmatic approach for a quality therapeutic experience.
Life today can feel like one wave after another pushing you into the rocks. Living takes courage, know-how, and commitment. Therapy can help align your purpose, resources, and energy for a better life. If you feel like you're in a small boat in stormy waters, and want a safe harbor to rest, restore, and relaunch, light a flare, and let's connect.

I work with individuals and couples in difficult situations and want something different. We get to things at the pace my clients are ready for. We collaborate, sort out a treatment approach, and focus on gaining momentum and working toward client goals. Clients are often frustrated with their relationships, jobs, and the meaning of their lives.
