As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental setting for someone to think out loud, process his/her feelings, and brainstorm options and possible solutions. The counseling process offers a trusting, respectful and supportive environment to explore issues, behavioral patterns, set realistic goals, and develop additional coping skills. I provide individual, and couples/marital therapy, and work with adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and other life transitions, relationship issues, step-family issues, difficulties in communication and conflict resolution as well as personal growth and development.

Going to marriage counseling or couples therapy can be an intimidating process, so I work to create an environment which is comfortable, non-judgmental, and safe for you to be yourself. I am passionate about meeting those who are willing to take the first step to deepen relationships with their partners, spouses, or within other relationships. I have experience working with young adults, adolescents, children, adults, and families. I am trained in various treatment modalities including Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

My clients are often dealing with symptoms associated with trauma. This may include domestic violence, marital issues, life changes, and other events. They are depressed, anxious, and unsure of where to turn. With the aid of coping skills, knowledge, and self-awareness, these symptoms can be alleviated and allow you to be your most authentic self. Many clients have goals that they wish to achieve and I work with them to accomplish those goals. Through talk therapy and proven techniques, we can work together to address any issues you are experiencing.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist with 33 years experience and advanced specialized training in relationship therapy, it has been my honor to work with couples as well as individuals experiencing difficulties in their relationships.

I believe the most important story you will ever hear that will impact your life is the one you continually tell and believe about yourself. My goal as your therapist is to help individuals, couples and families take the necessary steps needed to heal via helping them re-author their story.

Through my experience with personal hardships and what society would see as failures, I have come to the realization that perfection is an illusion and a more realistic obtainable goal is to strive for excellence – meaning continually trying to do your best.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families on their journey to greater connection, peace, and joy.
