Marriage counseling that Heals in Rio Vista, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

In my private practice, I see adults, couples and children. My focus is on such issues as grief and loss, anger, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, communication concerns, impulsivity, parenting, sexuality and gender identity.

We are all made for relationship and marriage is one of the most special relationships we aspire to in life. I can help you work through relational challenges to improve your marriage and experience the relationship you and your partner desire!

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.

I provide couples counseling which can be beneficial whether you are married or in a long term partnership. Therapy can be helpful for all couples to open up communication, gain mutual understanding and have a safe place to be vulnerable.

Rooted in attachment, neurobiology, and client-centered work, I use experiential methods to help those who feel disconnected from others and themselves find the link playfully back to being in relationship. I serve children, adolescents, and adult individuals.

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

We want connection- a space to be vulnerable and truly seen. But emotional intimacy is risky, and that scares us, especially with a difficult history! Instead of being vulnerable, we build up walls to protect us. Let's break down the walls and build a loving connection.

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.

I work with couples who feel under heard and under loved. They want to stop having arguments and misunderstandings. I enjoy empowering couples with the skills and confidence to create relationships that are loving, mutually supportive, and fun
