Engaging in therapy is a vulnerable and sometimes scary process. I specialize in working with couples either in a committed relationship or marriage. Working on relationships I often find the thing that brings couples together initially, gets lost after the "honeymoon" period is over. It is easy to get complacent with all of life's stressors. Being a strength-based therapist, I believe that anything is possible if both people are willing to work. And to be honest, therapy is work! I view my clients as the experts in their life and work together with them to create positive change.

Each client is unique and I strive to provide a therapeutic experience that is in line with your personal needs so you can build a healthy, fulfilling life.

When kids are struggling, I look at the big picture, not just "problems" or "symptoms."
