Great to meet you!

As a licensed marriage and family therapist for the past 30 years, I bring a wealth of professional experience dealing with personal crisis, life changing trauma and dysfunctional relationships. I help clients "right the ship" with insightful strategies and realistic interventions to improve their quality of life. I am relatable, down to earth and offer real life suggestions. I look forward to meeting you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is family systems based. People learn how to be in relationships based on who raised them, and sometimes we need to make adjustments to our learned behavior. If the old way is not working, let's explore viable alternatives so you don't have to continue to suffer.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect an open minded therapist who meet them where they are in their journey. I make clients feel safe right away, identify what "hurts the most" and mutually agree on strategies and interventions (treatment plan) to address the pain.
