Are you and your partner having trouble communicating without dissolving into conflict that never seem to get resolved? Do you have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your needs met? Are you scared that you could repeat your parents marriage? I can help...

I am an advanced practitioner in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and work with couples to create new ways of connecting that improve trust, safety, and intimacy. I also have experience helping couples recover from infidelity, betrayals, and addictions.

I work with couples to repair and rebuild their relationships. My goal is to help couples find a deeper understanding of one another and create a more meaningful relationship where more effective communication and healing can occur.

Specializing in couples and marriages for 25 years, I help couples move from conflict to intimacy. By learning communication skills as well as learning to appreciate your differences, you can remember the strengths that brought the two of you together to begin with.

“I'm a strong believer in a collaborative approach with my couples. I provide assistance & insight while navigating each partner through congruent communication, expression of feelings, and insight of any past traumas that might be at play in the current relationship.”

I specialize in working with Interracial and intercultural couples and families; I have also published cutting edge research in this area. I also work with couples from the same ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well.

When entering a committed relationship we have a desire and expectation for friendship, mutual respect, love and validation. It takes work, it takes courage, it takes support and training to arrive at this ideal.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

Most marriages are only a few tools away from having a great marriage. I find satisfaction in helping couples get the tools they need to be able to communicate in a way that gets heard. Having a witness (me) hear your problems builds accountabiity and understanding.

Let us help you navigate your relationship to reduce your conflicts, improve your communication and get on the same page. Our goal is to help you both feel heard, understood, and more importantly to teach you to love and respect each other's needs. Gottman Method used.

My approach employs: two cutting-edge diagnostic tools; addresses core issues not just surface ones; is goal & solutions-oriented; provides steps to rebuild your relationship; involves real-time changes not long-term therapy; focuses on reconciliation not treatment.
