Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • St. Petersburg, FL


Hello and welcome!

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years experience, I believe our relationships are central and vital to our happiness - they can enrich us, and/or bring us pain.

I help couples work through major life issues, decide if they want to stay together, and enact that decision with respect for each person. We dig deep and have the difficult conversations in a safe environment.

All relationships are embraced and affirmed.
