Great to meet you!

The right therapist can help you get "un-stuck" and lighten your burden. I am all about total transformation. I help each individual and couple restore hope and achieve their relationship goals. Working with me may NOT be blissful as I am a firm believer in addressing the pain and discomfort weighing us down. However, if you do the work required, you will experience emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.

My approach to therapy

Women, men, and couples are my specialty. I specialize in relationships: marriage counseling, marital conflict, pre-marital counseling, couple's therapy, life after divorce, and infidelity. If you are looking for someone to simply "agree" with you, I am not the right choice.

What you can expect from me

The first step in the therapeutic process is the assessment stage. Here you can expect to answer relevant questions about your relationship, family, childhood, stressors, and overall therapeutic goals. After the assessment stage, the real, life-changing work starts: slow and then powerful! The people who experience the best results when working with me are those who seek insight, perspective, and understanding. I do not offer free consultation.
