Are you struggling in your romantic relationship? Does it sometimes feel like you are deeply in love, and other times you can't understand each other at all? Couple therapy can help you learn more about yourself and your partner , and teach you new ways to interact and connect. By exploring the past and the present, couples therapy can uncover old patterns you are unconsciously repeating with your partner , and I can coach you through new behaviors that will strengthen the bond between you.

Since 1998, I have been working with individuals, couples , and families and treating issues related to: depression, anxiety, communication problems, interpersonal conflict, trauma recovery, military deployment, abortion recovery, adult children of divorced parents, pre-marital counseling, multi-cultural marriage and many other identity/spiritual crises. I see clients on the brink of divorce rediscover their passion for each other, clients merely surviving with depression/anxiety start truly living again, and clients going through the motions find purpose, meaning and fulfillment in their relationships, in their careers and in their lives. Often 10-14 sessions can lead to significant and lasting change.

As a therapist, my mission is to help you improve your over-all well being, enhance your ability to engage in interpersonal relationships, empower you with useful tools, and ultimately explore and address the obstacles that may be holding you back from the life you want to live. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision and a good fit is necessary to make effective progress. I try to be straightforward, without being harsh, and encouraging without applying any pressure. My clients find me to be warm, caring, down-to-earth, and, at times, humorous.
