My focus with couples includes parenting challenges, infidelity, emotional estrangement, relational inequities, living with addiction and divorce.
Reaching out for a therapist is a courageous step on the path to change and personal growth. Oftentimes we are unable to make positive changes in our life because overwhelming emotions, negative thoughts and unproductive behavioral patterns block us from moving forward.

We will work together to address and contain your immediate challenges, to process unresolved issues and to help you find a deeper connection with the world around you.
