I specialize in helping adults with relationship issues (including marriage counseling, sex therapy, affair recovery, and counseling for couples on the brink) through traditional weekly sessions or with therapy intensives. I work with adults of all backgrounds who are who are sorting through challenges in their relationships whether married, engaged, dating, or in any other configuration of committed partnership. Other specialties include relationship coaching and therapy for grief or loss.
I work with couples and individuals of all backgrounds. Whatever your history, race, religion, culture, ethnicity, or identity, you are invited to reach out and allow me to accompany you on your healing journey. Therapy can help you restore your relationships, provide support through heartbreaking loss, or assist you in navigating major life changes.
My goal is to offer a warm and welcoming space where you will be heard and accepted, where you can be open and vulnerable without fear of judgement, and where you can reflect and receive support, learn skills, and gain insights to help you move forward in your life and your relationships.
