How are your relationships? Are you carrying grief, distance, or disconnection that feels overwhelming? I’m a trauma-informed therapist with 20+ years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate estrangement, grief, addiction recovery, and relationship repair. Trained in the Gottman Method (Level 3), family estrangement (Dr. Josh Coleman), and grief education (David Kessler), I provide compassionate, structured support. I also lead virtual groups for estranged parents and grandparents seeking clarity, healing, and hope.
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience. I specialize in couples work (Gottman Level 3, including addiction, trauma, and affair recovery), family estrangement and alienation, and grief support. I help clients rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and navigate complex family dynamics with clarity and confidence.
Experienced with children of all ages and families across clinical and school settings. Board-approved supervisor. Trained in TF-CBT, CBT+, SMART Recovery, 12-Step recovery, Gottman Method (Level 3), SYMBIS, Positive Parenting Solutions, and specialized treatment for estrangement, alienation, trauma, and grief.
