I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Compassion, warmth, and objectivity are what I offer to everyone that walks into my practice, physically or virtually. Clients are accepted for who they are while receiving encouragement to become self-aware, grow and thrive within their communities. My goal is to create a safe space for reviving the soul (mind, will, and emotions); rebuilding weakened and destroyed personal, family and social foundations; (revealing) putting into proper perspective life's challenges and using them effectively to advance, bringing about restoration of the total being.

She lives by the mantra “you cannot pour out of an empty vessel” and recognizes that we can only become our best selves, capable of enriching the lives of others, if we take care of ourselves first.

My special focus is close relationships. I help couples rediscover positive feelings, communicate better, work through conflict cooperatively, and repair the relationship after tension or hurt. I can help heal the wounds of infidelity or other emotional injuries. If you disagree on something, I stay neutral while helping you learn how to communicate in a productive manner, and how to make decisions together. I take sides only when someone is doing something incompatible with a healthy, satisfying partnership, and then I take the side of the relationship. I do so by speaking directly to behaviors like addiction, hostility, dishonesty, etc.
