You have decided to make some changes but do not know where to start. Your life, your marriage or your family, may seem out of control. You are a unique individual and you have within you great potential to make desired changes in your life. The relationship between client and therapist is based on trust and the hope filled possibility of that change. I will work with you as a collaborative guide to enable you to discover and map your chosen objectives. Small changes in your life will often results in positive changes in your relationships.
Important relationships are meant to thrive, to form a sense of synergy. This happens when there is strong desire to stop just surviving and to boldly begin individual and relationship work needed to create strong bonds. I will walk with you on that journey, helping you reach hidden potential in your life and your relationships .
I have training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have completed Level One Premiere Couples Therapy, Level 2 Gottman relationship training, and Prepare Enrich. I find it rewarding to assist couples and families reach their full potential, as well as working with parents to raise happy and responsible children. Spiritual counseling is available upon request.
