I have over 16 years of experience helping people and their families cope with a wide variety of relationship changes, adjustment, grief and loss. Using your strengths, I will help you work through these difficult changes to help you manage their impact.

I strive to provide a safe place a person can go and be themselves, with no judgments. I continue in my belief that resiliency resides in everyone. I truly believe that change is possible and that everyone has room for improvement in their lives (including me).

All families have conflicts or struggles, but some conflicts need a little outside help. As a family therapist I am here to support families in developing healthy life giving systems.

Fighting with a loved one is exhausting -- often based on misconceptions, blame, defensiveness. I can provide you with skills to communicate safely while managing intense emotions and gently explore with you underlying issues in order to promote compassion/resolution.

Communications problems in your relationship? Feel like you aren't heard completely? I can assist you with pre-marital, marital. and partner counseling so that both of your ideas and feelings heard and better understood.

In my work with couples, I take non high conflict couples who want to better communicate and heal attachment wounds. In my work with kids I like to involve their system (parent/parents/family) to promote support and bonding.

With all the stresses that families face today, it is easy to fall into patterns of arguing with your spouse, yelling at your children, and simply feeling overwhelmed. I will help you get your marriage and your family back on track so you can once again feel joy.
