Great to meet you!

There are times in all of our lives when we find it difficult to find the answers we've been searching for, when our external world becomes so loud we can't hear that internal voice of wisdom. It can be during those times that a focused hour of introspection, conversation, and reflection can be helpful in finding the answers we've been unable to access by ourselves. My goal is to facilitate that search, whether the focus is relationships, life direction, grieving, or how to make life rewarding.

My approach to therapy

I have trained with relationship specialists Dr. John Gottman, and Dr. Harville Hendrix (founder of Imago Relationship Therapy). I enjoy sharing with the couples I see the information, skills, coping mechanisms and insights their research has produced regarding how to have a successful and long lasting relationship.

What you can expect from me

More and more research has shown the importance of the awareness and acknowledgement of the mind/body/spirit connection. Discovering the effect of our thoughts on our behaviors, our physical health and our sense of contentment and happiness can become an essential ingredient in creating a life we enjoy.
