James Baldwin said, “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” Do you yearn for connection, to have a community of loved ones, however large or small? You are not alone. Each of us desires connection, and yet trauma and broken relationships between loved ones often get in the way - this brokenness can affect our closest, most intimate relationships, and couples often suffer. Or, sometimes you may feel like you don’t really know or love yourself as well as you think you should. These questions, desires, and fears are part of the human experience, and part of my life experience.

Creating a positive relationship is the key to finding the “right” therapist. Since relationships are built on trust, it is essential that you connect with him/her emotionally and intellectually. In other words, your therapist must possess a high level of social-emotional intelligence.

With that said, I have been working with adults and families for over 25 years. From marital to individual therapy, my focus has been helping people change and modify obstacles that hinder their lives.
